GetConsoleDisplayMode function

Applies to: desktop apps only

Retrieves the display mode of the current console.

Copy

BOOL WINAPI GetConsoleDisplayMode(
  __out  LPDWORD lpModeFlags
);

lpModeFlags [out]

The display mode of the console. This parameter can be one or more of the following values.

Value	Meaning
CONSOLE_FULLSCREEN 1	Full-screen console. The console is in this mode as soon as the window is maximized. At this point, the transition to full-screen mode can still fail.
CONSOLE_FULLSCREEN_HARDWARE 2	Full-screen console communicating directly with the video hardware. This mode is set after the console is in CONSOLE_FULLSCREEN mode to indicate that the transition to full-screen mode has completed.

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

To compile an application that uses this function, define _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0500 or later. For more information, see Using the Windows Headers.
