getmaxheight

Syntax

#include <graphics.h>
int getmaxheight(void);

Description

The getmaxheight function is available in the winbgim implementation of BGI graphics. The function returns the maximum height that will fit on the screen when creating a window with initwindow. This is one of the few BGI functions that may be called before calling initwindow. Note: The value returned is correct for a window with a non-empty title. If you create a window with the empty string (no characters) for a title, then the height can be increased by GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCAPTION).

Return Value

getmaxheight returns the maximum window height
