Cheat Engine

[mindoff]

Some old game can't change window size and it's 640x480 resolution.

I heard some windows API something something can change window size.

So how can I do it with Cheat Engine?

OK,about half year,and I have done this with C++.

Don't know how to write lua to do this.

But I will leave some tips on how to do this in C++,maybe someone may need it.

The question is some old game run on window mode and can't change to a specific window size.

Windows resize window WIN32 API is called MoveWindow

Don't be confused by it's name,it can do both move and resize window job.

So,the flow for C++ is

1.Enum process and find target like notepad.exe and open it with OpenProcess WIN32 API

2.MoveWindow API need HWND as it's first parameter.
There may be many ways to do this.But I only know 2

2.1 Use FindWindow WIN32 API to find HWND by window title name.
And there is a problem if the game's title is written with string you don't know or some symbol you can't type it out like chinese,japanese characters.

Then you can't get what you want.


2.2 Use EnumWindows WIN32 API to get HWND by ProcessID which can be captured before OpenProcess

Finally you can call something like
x=0;
y=0;
width=1440;
height=900;
::MoveWindow(hwnd, x,y,width,height, true);
to resize the target window to specifiy size.

Although some game may drop fps.
At least you got a large size window and for some none fps matter game,
It's still useful

Note:

Not all Windows app can resizing or moving to specific post.
Almost example on internet sites use notepad app. As Windows handle.
You need try with others app. Usually, browser windows can't resize or move by using WIN32 API setWindowPos or MoveWindow.
