I have a very specific thing I'm trying to accomplish.
I am creating an Cross Platform Audio Book manager for SD-Cards with the primary platform being David Murray's "Commander X16" platform. This is a "New"/"Retro" 8-bit computer recently in production.
I am well on the way on the Commander X16 side of things and I wouldn't come here for help with that.
I also want a version of the Audio Book Manager to run on Windows & Linux. I want the look and feel between the two platforms to be as close as possible.
Due to hardware limitations my Text Screens on the X16 are going to be 40 cols x 30 rows. I need to replicate that under QB64PE.
The closest I have got is SCREEN 0, then WIDTH 40, 43 and VIEW PRINT 1 TO 30. This is getting me very close but with 13 blank lines at the bottom of the Window.
If I Enable $RESIZE:ON I can manually resize the Window and cut off these lines from view.
WHAT I WANT TO DO: Have the Window automatically resize itself with no further resizing allowed by the User. This will give me exactly the screen I need for the correct look and feel. I've been combing the DOCS and example code and I really can't figure out how to do this. It should work under both Windows & Linux.
