Mimic command line behaviour in an EditorGadget()

Hello
My first probleme was to find how to close a Console window without terminating the whole program. As I found out that it was impossible, is there a way to mimic a console behaviour inside an EditorGagdet, which means that the user can only enter input at the last cursor position and an output is generated when user hits "Enter" .
any other solution is welcome
Thanks

Try this in v6.11 or above, Windows Only!!. (don't know about others) I don't think you can type anywhere except end of the text.
Code: Select all
#KB_Return = #PB_Shortcut_Return + 49152
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 150, "EditorGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
EditorGadget(0, 8, 8, 306, 133)
For a = 0 To 5
AddGadgetItem(0, a, "Line "+Str(a))
Next
AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Return, #KB_Return)
SetActiveGadget(0) ; necessary to get cursor active in edit box.
Repeat
SendMessage_(GadgetID(0),#EM_SETSEL,-1,-1) ; Force cursor to End of text.
Select EventMenu()
Case #KB_Return ; Catch Return Key
s$ = GetGadgetText(0) ;get input if return key
Break ; exit the loop with all text in s$
EndSelect
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
Debug s$
[HINT] do web search for "EM_SETSEL" to learn about cursor placement and text selections.

Did you ask a similar question back in February?
Simulate Terminal in an EditorGadget
Does the RASHAD example not work?
Perhaps this is something for you?
Module: TerminalGadget

I didn't ask the question. I ran into this coding question post and noticed it had no reply so I replied.

Looks like the OP made two topics about this issue, this one that never got any replies until recently, and the one linked a couple posts back.

I (never) look at the date. So, Randy, if you felt offended. Here's my apology. Because that was not my intention.

Nope, not offended. All comments welcome
