Jacxonia: Sorry, I don't understand what you want exactly!

You can load a real cmd application and display it in the editbox! Maybe you can describe it better!

@wakillon: I don't think that he is searching for something like that.

actually the way Hannes123 described it was quite acuate i search for a cmd console like when you open it in the accesories folder to be in the auto it GUI the cmd aplication should be embeded in the auto it script! The easiest way for me to explain is like this: Imagine a normal cmd window and your Auto IT Programm, not the whole cmd window should be IN the programm!

This is great.

If there is any chance that I can capture CMD output via any notification and update my edit control that would be great.

Ex:

I have a script / batch file (which takes long time to complete) and I execute from AutoIt UI with button press and its output logged in an edit control of the same UI. I should also be able to interact with UI while the script/batch file running behind.

Currently, I been using the below technique to solve my requirement.

1. Have a AutoIt GUI (with a edit control) to display results and start / stop buttons.

2. Another AutoIt Console application which actually reads the console output and updates main GUI edit box with

_GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hEditBox, "output from cmd")

With the above technique, I could able to start / stop the process whenever I need.

I know this is not the best way to solve my problem, but this is what I came up after spending much time. Please suggest if this can be enhanced.

#include <Date.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
; Script Start - Add your code below here
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)
$tFile = _Date_Time_EncodeFileTime(@MON, @MDAY, @YEAR, @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC)
Local $data = ""
Local $i = 1
$hEditBox = ControlGetHandle("My Window","",150)
ControlSetText("My Window","",$hEditBox,"Start Time :: "&_Date_Time_FileTimeToStr($tFile))
While True
    $data = ConsoleRead()
If @error Then
  ExitLoop
EndIf
$sValidData = ""
If($data <> "") Then
  $aDataFetched = StringSplit($data,@CRLF)
  $i = 1
  If($aDataFetched[0] <> 1) Then
   While $i < $aDataFetched[0]
    _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hEditBox, @CRLF & $sValidData)
    $i +=1
   WEnd
  EndIf
EndIf
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

UEZ's script is amazing but when i run a bat file it says

"" is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.""

All though it pop-ups a msgbox saying the bat file executed..

Am i doing something wrong ?

My guess would be that there's a space in the file name or path to the batch file.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Replace line 38 with this here:

Local $pid = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & $bfile & '"', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_MERGED)

and it should work properly.

Btw, I extended this pseudo CMD box here: (alpha version).
