How can I change default output console window size?

[mateusz_s]

When I am using in my C code, under AmigaOS 3.2
printf("ABC");

the default console opens and writes that. But I would like to setup
that console windows size first.

I tried:
BPTR consoleFH = Open("CON:20/20/500/100/Console", MODE_OLDFILE);
SelectOutput(consoleFH);


It only opens additional window, but output is still in the first default window.

Thank You in advance

Hmmm.. I figure out something like that. It works.
Is that a correct way?

BPTR consoleFH = Open("CON:50/50/400/250/Console/", MODE_NEWFILE);

const char* abc = "ABCSS";
Write(consoleFH, abc, strlen(abc));

// at the end
// Close(consoleFH);

Hi @

I think that what you do is correct but have a look here, thanks to a lot of help from others here, this code illustrates how to deal with the Console

Cheers!

What the compiler opens as default console if not run from the shell is pretty much compiler specific. Some compilers allow to define the path and by that also the size of the console window they open for stdout. Thus, either consult the compiler manual of the compiler you are using, or provide details on your C compiler.

In the SAS/C, the __stdiowin variable is used when the program is started from Workbench.

char __stdiowin[]= "CON:10/10/600/100/My Window";
