CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFOEX structure

Contains extended information about a console screen buffer.

Syntax

typedef struct _CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFOEX {
  ULONG      cbSize;
  COORD      dwSize;
  COORD      dwCursorPosition;
  WORD       wAttributes;
  SMALL_RECT srWindow;
  COORD      dwMaximumWindowSize;
  WORD       wPopupAttributes;
  BOOL       bFullscreenSupported;
  COLORREF   ColorTable[16];
} CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFOEX, *PCONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFOEX;

Members

cbSize
The size of this structure, in bytes.

dwSize
A COORD structure that contains the size of the console screen buffer, in character columns and rows.

dwCursorPosition
A COORD structure that contains the column and row coordinates of the cursor in the console screen buffer.

wAttributes
The attributes of the characters written to a screen buffer by the WriteFile and WriteConsole functions, or echoed to a screen buffer by the ReadFile and ReadConsole functions. For more information, see Character Attributes.

srWindow
A SMALL_RECT structure that contains the console screen buffer coordinates of the upper-left and lower-right corners of the display window.

dwMaximumWindowSize
A COORD structure that contains the maximum size of the console window, in character columns and rows, given the current screen buffer size and font and the screen size.

wPopupAttributes
The fill attribute for console pop-ups.

bFullscreenSupported
If this member is TRUE, full-screen mode is supported; otherwise, it is not. This will always be FALSE for systems after Windows Vista with the WDDM driver model as true direct VGA access to the monitor is no longer available.

ColorTable
An array of COLORREF values that describe the console's color settings.

Requirements

Minimum supported client	Windows Vista [desktop apps only]
Minimum supported server	Windows Server 2008 [desktop apps only]
