Take a look at libvte it's the Gtk widget used by gnome-terminal. It can be embedded easily in any application. http://library.gnome.org/devel/vte/unstable/VteTerminal.html On Sat, Mar 7, 2009 at 3:50 PM, Dutta, Seemanta <seemanta@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi, > I want to design a console based interface to my application.

My main requirement for the console is that It should not allow the user to 'scroll-back' and edit past commands, which would be very inconsistent. In other words it should behave just like a terminal command line, allowing line editing for the current line only. I am not thinking of readline support right now but that can be added later as an enhancement. > > My question: Is that possible in GtkTextViewer? I always thought that I can set the entire widget as editable or non editable. But if I set it as editable, then I don't want the user to be able to scroll up and fiddle with text that is present above. > > Can anyone please advise? > > regards, > Seemanta > _______________________________________________ > gtk-list mailing list > gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list > -- Emmanuel Rodriguez _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
