Command Prompt GUI

[MIchaelfjsmith2]

Team,

I am Trying to create a Gui in Autoit that will act and look like a CMD window. my current code works for simple commands such as ipconfig and will return the value into an edit box. But on more interactive commands such as ping and netstat. it will hang and wait for the command to finish its search before continuing. What im trying to do is have it show live data of what would be on the cmd window at all times. here is my code.

Thanks,

#include <GuiScrollBars.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 662, 365, 290, 246)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0, 0, 657, 337, BitOR($ES_AUTOVSCROLL,$ES_AUTOHSCROLL,$ES_READONLY,$WS_VSCROLL))
GUICtrlSetFont($Edit1, 8, 800, 0, "Times New Roman")
GUICtrlSetColor($Edit1, 0xFF0000)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Edit1, 0x000000)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 0, 336, 657, 21)
GuiCtrlSetState(-1, 512)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
