how to get windows console height?

c++, console, height, winapi

Solution

Use `GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo`:

CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo (GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), &csbi);

//use csbi.dwSize for the rows and columns...

If you're on Vista and up you can use the "Ex" form of this as well.

Problem

That is number of lines in the console ? I know `SetConsoleWindowInfo()` but I can't find anywhere sheet for corresponding `GetConsoleWindowInfo()`.
