terminal widget

[kernel_panic]

Hi.
I need a terminal widget. Something that looks and works like a linux terminal or a windows cmd. Is there something like that written in c++ or even qith Qt?

[wysota]

Well... there are xterm, eterm, konsole and many other terminal software available. Choose which one suits you best. Or maybe I don't understand your question :)

i ment a pure Qt terminal. konsole is kde. it shall work under windows and mac, too.

Of course if you feel like hacking around with kdelibs, it should work with Windows and Mac as well.

Don't expect such solution to be available. Unix terminals use termio structures which are not available under Windows and Windows cmd has nothing to do with a real terminal. It's just a window that displays some text in a crude way. The term "pseudo terminal" fits it more than the real pseudo terminals ;)

If you want a "portable" solution, you'll have to reduce your expectations to a "window displaying some text".

If you just need a terminal, go for putty or an xterm (or similar) running under cygwin. But of course it will run sh or family and not command.com

no, i ment a widget that "shows text in a crude way" like you said.
there shall be no function, except the way the widget displays text.

So what is wrong with QTextBrowser?

[kernel_panic]

not really.
atm i use qtextbrowser. but its a terminal app for accesing an embedded system. its a linux system. i use a qtextbrowser for displaying incoming text and a qlineedit for typing commands. But this doesnt look fine. I want this app to look like xterm or konsole and act like them. and i have to do some translations from vt100 and to vt100.

[kernel_panic]

ok now i got it working somehow. i use a widget, catch key events and translate the key events to vt100 commands. i use a buffer string where i put in received data. my only problem now is, that apps like vi arent displayed well. everytime i type a in sth in vi, i display a new view. instead of deleting the old view and than displaying the new. this means if i type 3 letters in vi, i display 3 different vi outputs.

Look at qtermwidget.sourceforge.net

Can you get success with QtermWidget ?

I´m trying to use pdCurs, http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/, it´s appears to me a good way, but if there are a Qt Way I prefer, for sure!
