Fail to change windows size and buffer under C with Winapi

If you're having trouble changing the window size and buffer size of the console window using the WinAPI in C, you can use the SetConsoleScreenBufferSize and SetConsoleWindowInfo functions. Here's an example of how you can use them:

cCopy code
#include <Windows.h>



int main() {

    HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);



    // Set the console buffer size (width, height)

    COORD bufferSize = {80, 25};  // Set your desired size here

    SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(hConsole, bufferSize);



    // Get the current console window size and position

    CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;

    GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hConsole, &csbi);



    // Calculate the new window size and position

    SMALL_RECT windowRect = csbi.srWindow;

    windowRect.Right = windowRect.Left + 79;  // Set your desired width here

    windowRect.Bottom = windowRect.Top + 24;  // Set your desired height here



    // Set the new console window size and position

    SetConsoleWindowInfo(hConsole, TRUE, &windowRect);



    return 0;

}

In this example, the SetConsoleScreenBufferSize function sets the size of the console buffer, and the SetConsoleWindowInfo function sets the size and position of the visible window within that buffer.

Remember to replace the values in the bufferSize and windowRect variables with your desired dimensions. Keep in mind that changing the size of the console window can affect the appearance and usability of your application, so make sure to test the results thoroughly.
