How to remove scrollbars in console windows C++

Question

I have been checking out some Rogue like games (Larn, Rogue, etc) that are written in C and C++, and I have noticed that they do not have the scrollbars to the right of the console window.

How can I accomplish this same feature?

Answer 2

You need to make the console screen buffer the same size as the console window. Get the window size with GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo, srWindow member. Set the buffer size with SetConsoleScreenBufferSize().
