MSDos Scrollbar History
 

Hi,

At University the MSDos windows that I run my C++ programs in have a scrollbar on them so i can view the history of what has been printed to screen.

I need to view the history to do screenshot testing.

My MSDos windows at home dont have the scrollbars - the history is cut off at a specific limit.

Does anyone know how to get the scrollbars to appear?

Much appreciated. :thumbsup

it might be because at University they are running Windows XP - can anyone tell me if they get scrollbars on their MSDos Windows?

To test, go to:

Start > Run > Type: "command.com" ENTER

:)

MSDOS windows?
As in Windows 3.1 ?

besides that I have absolutely no idea what you just said

I am and I don't .

Just right-click on a windowed (ALT+ENTER if yours is fullscreen) Command-prompts titlebar and select
"Properties" in that menu... Then begin messing around with the options. :)

hi

tried that, doesnt work - i think its only XP that has scrollbars on MSDOS.

The reason being you can scroll your history, cos in older versions of MSDOS you had to type \p to get your results per page.

Anyone else?

I am running it on windows 2000 and it has a vertical scrollbar. I don't see an option to turn it off, so I don't know what you are doing differently.

i got a scrollbar.. winXP
