Hi,

I am wondering if there is a class available which allows the programmer to read console properties such as Screen Size Buffer and Windows Size.

For further clarification, I am building a c++ console application using the standard template library that needs to know console properties to arrange text in a specific way.

Thanks for your time!!!

I don't know if there is a class for this, but the concept is pretty simple.
There is a whole load of functions for getting (and setting) the console info.
Take a look at them on MSDN[^].

The documentation is always a good place to start :)
