How can I resize console window in dev-c++ ?

[Clinton Portis]

If ye' have a windows operating system ye' can do this:

include <windows.h>


void set_console_size()
{
     HANDLE hOut;
     SMALL_RECT DisplayArea = {0, 0, 0, 0};
     //set x and y to whatever ye' want
     int x = 125;
     int y = 55;

     hOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
     DisplayArea.Right  = x;
     DisplayArea.Bottom = y;

     SetConsoleWindowInfo(hOut, TRUE, &DisplayArea);
}

SetConsoleScreenBufferSize() to a size that is not larger than the console window size.
