[How-To] Get information about the conhost window, update its mode settings (PowerShell hybrid)

#1 Post by aGerman » 29 Oct 2022 09:19

The code below contains two macros.

1) The %ConsoleInfo% macro outputs a sequence of "name=value" pairs which provide information about the console window, such like its appearance, settings, and environment.

2) The %SetConsoleMode% macro updates mode settings of the console window. The mode is an integral value which represents a bitset of flags. It is initially received from the %ConsoleInfo% macro in value "cmo". In a SET /A satement, flags can be set or removed using bitwise OR (|) or the combination of bitwise AND and NOT (&~), respectively. Therefore, supported flags can be defined as environment variables by calling the :init_ModeFlags subroutine.

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal

call :init_ConsoleInfo

for /f %%i in ('%ConsoleInfo%') do set /a "%%i"
echo terminal app identifier: %cta%
echo console monitor boundaries: %cml%, %cmt%, %cmr%, %cmb%
echo console window size: %cwx%, %cwy%
echo console viewport size: %cvx%, %cvy%
echo console font size: %cfx%, %cfy%
echo console charcell size: %chx%, %chy%
echo console current size: %ccx%, %ccy%
echo console largest size: %clx%, %cly%
%comspec% /c exit %cmo%
echo console I/O modes: 0x%=ExitCode:~0,4% / 0x%=ExitCode:~-4%
echo(
pause

if %cta% equ 0 exit /b

cls
call :init_ModeFlags
call :init_SetConsoleMode
echo(
echo Enable Quick Edit Mode ...
set /a "newmode1=cmo | ENABLE_QUICK_EDIT_MODE"
%SetConsoleMode% %newmode1%
echo *** Try to mark something with your mouse. ***
pause

echo(
echo Disable Quick Edit Mode ...
set /a "newmode2=newmode1 & ~ENABLE_QUICK_EDIT_MODE"
%SetConsoleMode% %newmode2%
echo *** Try again to mark something. ***
pause

goto :eof

:: - BRIEF -
:: The %ConsoleInfo% macro collects properties of the console window and its environment.
::  It prints a string in the following format to StdOut:
::   cta=N,cml=N,cmt=N,cmr=N,cmb=N,cwx=N,cwy=N,cvx=N,cvy=N,cfx=N,cfy=N,chx=N,chy=N,ccx=N,ccy=N,clx=N,cly=N,cmo=N
::    or
::   cta=0
::  With:
::   cta  identifier for the terminal app
::         0  not a console (perhaps Windows Terminal)
::             NOTE: all other values are removed from the output whenever the
::                    ID is 0, because they are only valid for the console host
::         1  legacy console
::         2  console V2 (Windows 10 onwards)
::   cml  left dots boundary of the monitor's workspace
::   cmt  top dots boundary of the monitor's workspace
::   cmr  right dots boundary of the monitor's workspace
::   cmb  bottom dots boundary of the monitor's workspace
::   cwx  current width of the console window as number of dots
