Higher res console window for unattended, scheduled runs.
I now have TestComplete successfully performing a scheduled run on my virtual machine every night. (http://smartbear.com/forums/f81/fp3/t84466/scheduling-test-run-on-a-virtual-machine/) I simply run the following batch file instead of disconnecting from Remote Desktop...
tscon RDP-Tcp#0 /dest:console
timeout 10
C:\qres.exe /x:1152 /y:864
This works very well with one proviso...
As the "output" is now directed to the Windows console I have made efforts to maximise the console screen resolution. Using either VNC or qres.exe I can set the resolution as high as 1152x864 but no higher options seem to be available. Unfortunately, there are one or two commands in my tests that fail as a result of them being played back at a resoultion smaller than the 1280x1024 I use when recording and editing tests.
Does anyone know if I can make the console window resolution higher? Or is there a way or avoiding this problem entirely?
I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
