There isn''t a way to do this, or at least, there''s no easy way. But even if there is, don''t do it. Let the user decide if the application should be fullscreen or not.

Maybe SetConsoleWindowInfo() in combination with GetLargestConsoleWindowSize() ?
I haven''t tried em yet, so I might be totally wrong...


Maybe there is a way to start .PIF files?

Well, that''s exactly what I was wondering. I don''t know of any way of creating .PIF files and then startig them, so some help on this side would be most appreciated.

The program I''m working on is a Windowze interface for an old FOX-PRO 2.6 for DOS program witch, I bet you know, runs full-screen all of the time, in order to be usable in any way. That''s why I wanted to know how one can make an Win16 app run full-screen and close on exit.

Please answer me, as I really need help on this one.

TIA,

Doesn''t anybody have any idea???

You can run PIF files with a simple ShellExecute... if you want to create PIF files, look into the Windows Installer API.. That''s where it''s gonna be.
