Console application leaves cmd.exe set size.

Question

I have written a console application that sets the size of the console and output buffer. My problem is that after the program ends I cannot resize my cmd.exe window the way I did before. After the program sets the size of the window it retains that size no matter what I do afterwards.

Answer 1

It works for me in C#.

namespace CSharpTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            System.Console.WindowHeight = 50;
            System.Console.WindowWidth = 100;
            System.Console.BufferHeight = 6000;
            System.Console.BufferWidth = 100;
        }
    }
}

After running the program, I can change the height of the window and make it narrower, just like before. I can't make it wider, but then I couldn't before, either.

Answer 2

It is not clear what you mean. But are you setting the default values for all Cmd consoles when you change the size - That would make new cmd consoles that size too.

Could we have a bit more information about what you mean please.
