It seems that the codes there are not supported in C.

Are you sure that this codes are supported in C? I doubt

It is possible to use it in C code. You just have to include windows.h. Many times I have used Windows API in C applications, I hope that you can as well.

Check this code for fullscreen.

Code:

include <windows.h>


void "whatevernameyouwanttogiveit"()/* function definition for 
                                                         fullscreen */
{  keybd_event(VK_MENU,
                0x38,
                0,
                0);
    keybd_event(VK_RETURN,
                0x1c,
                0,
                0);
    keybd_event(VK_RETURN,
                0x1c,
                KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,
                0);
    keybd_event(VK_MENU,
                0x38,
                KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,
                0);
}
