What should I do if I want to create a console emulator in Windows?
The console emulator here is like ConEmu.
I'm thinking about making my own font because I can't display it neatly with cmd.exe or Powershell.
I would like to implement the tab functionality, but the AllocConsole is determined only once in one process, so I cannot open more than one console.
What should I do?
Also, when I call AllocConsole, a screen similar to cmd.exe appears.
I'd like to implement it myself without displaying it, but is there any way I can't display it properly?
By the way, I use C++
Operating System: Windows 10 1803
c++ windows visual-studio windows-10 console
There is a Windows API called SetParent.This allows you to change the parent window for any window, and I think it can be done by specifying the parent window for the window created by AllocConsole as your own app.
ConEmu is an open source, so why don't you look at the source?
However, I feel that the approach is somehow wrong.
With software like this, I think you can input and output by using standard input/output and error output pipes.
(That's what I did when I made Cygwin terminal software)
If it's Win32, it's like this.(Only the output)
It may be a little off the mark, but I hope it will be helpful.
Do you know a famous open source product called Windows Terminal?
Instead of developing your own terminal software from the beginning, why not start by modifying this Windows Terminal or creating Windows Terminal add-ons?
