Title: Is it possible to lock the console size?
Post by: hanness on September 24, 2021, 12:48:06 pm: I have a program that runs entirely in a console windows. All input and output happens within that console window. Is it possible to prevent a user from resizing that window? It appears that the $RESIZE:OFF metacommand does not work with the console window.

You may want to use the Width command in your main loop - won't prevent your user from resizing, but will restore back to what you wish to impose.

Zach may have an API call for that.
