I have created a borderless (and scrollbox-less) console application, but I have found that if the user has a touchpad and tries to scroll the console with it, he is able to do so. (Can’t be done with a regular mouse, apparently.)

I’d like to disable this feature.

First I thought about creating some kind of message handling system for a my console, just like in Win32 GUI programming, but that seemed unnecessarily difficult.

I also thought about changing the buffer size, but I have no idea how to do that (I looked into SetConsoleScreenBufferSize but couldn’t do anything useful with it).

Any suggestions?

    Problem fixed..

    I had accidentally used SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(hWnd, dwSize); instead of SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), dwSize);

    EDIT: There is a small bug still.
    Even when I set the Console Screen Buffer Size to as tiny as it can be, the user can still scroll a few steps up (to scroll back down, the user needs to be scrolling really fast, for some reason) I have no idea what might be causing this, so if you have any ideas pelase let me know.
