#309 ActiveX or OLE server

[Pincopanco]

It would be nice and I think also an useful improvement to compile
the Console software like an OLE server or an ActiveX.

I do not know Pascal,
is it difficult to obtain an ActiveX or an OLE server from this source code?

errata corrige .... I do not know C++ not Pascal....

Please, explain your goal clearer.
COM/ActiveX is not thing in itself - it's just a tool to do something. What are you want to do?

in short an example,
I would like to use console2 in this way:
make a form (say with visual basic or Autoit) and "insert" console2
embedding it on the form like you con do with a text box
or with a button, with the ability to resize the inserted control
and then use consol2 via methods, propertyes and .... maybe some events
instead of a standalone (beautifulst) program like is now

....?? .....
is it (easly?) implementable or is it something
completely different from console2?

many thanks

Another short example:

make a form with consol2 embedded in the form,
add some buttons to the form that wen are clicked sends
dos commands to consol2 (via a method say consol2.SendCMD for example)
and then see the output of the dos command inside the consol2

...I hope of being be clearer...

Bye

Thank you, I'm understand.

Console was never though as embeddable.
It's possible but will require enormous efforts.
