CMD embedded in GUI Applications.

I am trying to embed a CMD window into my GUI application. I have found QTerminal & Qconsole but I'm unsure of how to implement custom widgets in QT.

I am looking to read & write to CMD from within my GUI application.

Thank you.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You can use it as any other widget from Qt. You even have an example in QTerminal's sources here

& I have to include everything in the lib folder with my source correct? I know, extremely noob.

Thanks.

Or would it be easier to print windows cmd output to qplaintextedit? I would need to send commands back..hmm..

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Build and install QTerminal, then you can use it like other libraries
