Console.SetWindowPosition & # 8594; centered (every time)

Question

I am trying to customize the Console window, made using my C-sharp code, to center each generated code.

Hope this makes sense.

This requires P / Invoke. Project + Add Reference, select System.Drawing. Again for System.Windows.Forms. Add a new class to the project and paste this code:

using System; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Drawing; // NOTE: Project + Add Reference required using System.Windows.Forms; // NOTE: Project + Add Reference required using System.Runtime.InteropServices; public static class ConsoleUtils { public static void CenterConsole() { IntPtr hWin = GetConsoleWindow(); RECT rc; GetWindowRect(hWin, out rc); Screen scr = Screen.FromPoint(new Point(rc.left, rc.top)); int x = scr.WorkingArea.Left + (scr.WorkingArea.Width - (rc.right - rc.left)) / 2; int y = scr.WorkingArea.Top + (scr.WorkingArea.Height - (rc.bottom - rc.top)) / 2; MoveWindow(hWin, x, y, rc.right - rc.left, rc.bottom - rc.top, false); } // P/Invoke declarations private struct RECT { public int left, top, right, bottom; } [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)] private static extern IntPtr GetConsoleWindow(); [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)] private static extern bool GetWindowRect(IntPtr hWnd, out RECT rc); [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)] private static extern bool MoveWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int x, int y, int w, int h, bool repaint); }
