Console size ?

[Fifi]

Hi all,

I would like to change the default size (lcolumns and rows) of a console prior to run a program into it.

I didn't find any sample to do it.

Any help would be truly appreciated.

I don't think you can, though. Let's see what the others suggest.

Hi Fellippe,

Thanx for your answer.

So, should I use another window than the console ?

If so, how could I do that (a tiny sample code would be appreciated using my loan.bas sample with comumn = 120 and rows = 30 but also with the capability to scroll the result up and down).

BTW, I've the same problem to adapt this loan.bas sample into a form with InForm (what kind of container to use fro the result)?

Any help with the InForm version of this sample would be truly appreciated.

With InForm, you could probably have a ListBox control and add each output line to it with the AddItem method.

You can also set the list's AutoScroll property to true, so it'll emulate a console.

That would mimick a console window, and the output would be scrollable.

If you consider the overhead, you'd probably feel it's more reasonable to reformat your output to the default 80x25 of a console window.

Now, to truly take advantage of InForm, you'd design an interface with textbox controls for input and would have the output show in labels after a button was clicked to calculate results. Then it'd be a true GUI app.

Definitely not the way, Petr.
