Simulate a console inside an EditorGadget()

[danny88]

Hello everyone,

I want to make an EditorGadget look like a command prompt (Console) which would look like this :

• The cursor position is always at the end of text

• The text before the cursor can't be edited

• User input will be always at cursor position (At the end of text)

Ok, then do it.

Or search a bit in the forum.

Btw. have you tried my version for your read problem?
If you add a Print(output$) you nearly have what you want.
And I don't use a fixed delay to break the program flow.

What additional benefits do your users have?
Have you tested Powershell and Scintilla?
What about font customization and resolution, 60x23?
