Hallo,

because I need a terminal window for running a command, I would like to ask,
how can I integrate this into a form-tool f.e. like text.aera? Appreciate to hear
from you!

 TerminalView is the best component to have an interactive terminal.

Shell output from the Shell or Exec command can be directed to a text area like…

Shell 'ls/home' To TextArea1.Text

Also you can
Shell 'command" For Input Output

And set up a Process_Read() event handler.
Info on how to do this is on the gambas wiki shell help.

Sorry my last reply was brief as i was at work.

So…
If all you want is to see the output of a shell command and not type anything then it's very simple.

There are 2 ways.
Simply use the Shell or Exec command using the "To" keyword to direct the output straight to the TextArea object like this…


Or…

Another way is to set up a Read event handler that monitors for read events.
using the As keyword to assign events to a name. (in this case the name "Process")
Like this…

Or do you need something more advanced?

Hi Gamba_Dance and welcome to the forum.

BruceSteers is right in what he says but if you do need an example I wrote a program with a Terminal in 7 lines of code that is on the Gambas Farm or available here. There are other examples on the Farm as well.

If you give us a bit more detail of what you are trying to do we could offer better advice.

 Hallo together and thank you very much, for your quick an friendly help.
I think your solutions will fetch my problem. Because I didn't find any
chat-code for Gambas, I wanna integrate a terminal-window with a chat-function,
for using in LAN intranet.
