I am writing a C program and I want that when I run the code, the window maximises itself automatically. Is there any function or command which I can use?

Thanks Learn something new every day. Always thought the C++ had the windows not C.

Code: [Select]ShowWindow(hWnd,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

hWnd would be the window handle

Good luck. Thanks a lot SIDEWINDER. It should work.

But how should I set the window handle ?Wait a minute Sidewinder.
I think you MISUNDERSTOOD my question. Let me explain myself a bit better.

I wrote a C program which runs in a DOS prompt window. But the window is set by default to be 25 characters in height, i.e. it is not completely maximised. I would like a command which can maximise the command prompt window automatically.

Hope this is a better explanation.

Thanks again for your interest. OK, this has nothing to do with C and everything to do with the command prompt.

Try STARTING your program and use the /max switch to CONTROL the window size:

Code: [Select]start /max C-program

Good luck. As, I said C and C++ programming language. While writing a program
and I want that when I run the code, the window maximizes itself automatically. Is there any function or any short cut to Maximize.
