Force fullscreen?

[zachlr]

Is there a way to force a C++ console program to go fullscreen on Windows? My laptop for example does not support fullscreen so is there a way for the program to check for support of fullscreen, or check for if a force fullscreen attempt fails? I guess newer graphics cards or screens or something don't support that resolution or whatever. Hope you can help.
Thanks,
Zach

Vista doesn't support fullscreen console applications.

Google "msdn showwindow" and "get console hwnd" for more. (I've got to go now. Good luck.)
