[edit] About

CmdLine is a prompt component, which has a few extra features to fit better into a VCL environment.

Its main characteristics but these of an ordinary promt are :

  • Dynamic line length, lines which are too long are wrapped (Word wrapping)
  • Independent input buffer so you can still write during input
  • History
  • Copy/paste/cut for input
  • Multispace font support
  • ANSI escape codes or CmdBox special escape codes (or none if you switch them off)

If you find Bugs, don't work around please, contact me, I propably can fix it in less than a day and you don't have to work around again if the next version is released.

It should work on Win32, GTK and GTK2.
