This is a console emulator control that embeds a fully functional console view in a Windows Forms window. It is capable of running any console application with full interactivity and advanced console functions. Applications will detect it as an actual console and will not fall back to the output redirection mode with reduced interactivity or formatting.
The control can be used to run a console process in the console emulator. The console process is the single command executed in the control, which could be a simple executable (the console emulator is not usable after it exits), or an interactive shell like cmd
or powershell
or bash
, which in turn can execute multiple commands, either by user input or programmatically with ConEmuSession.WriteInputText. The console emulator is what implements the console and renders the console view in the control. A new console emulator (represented by a RunningSession) is Start">started for each console process. After the root console process terminates, the console emulator might remain open (see Start spawns a new console emulator for a console process in it. You cannot run more than one console emulator (or console process) simultaneousely.
