"EchoCon" ConPTY Sample App

This is a very simple sample application that illustrates how to use the new Win32 Pseudo Console (ConPTY) by:

  1. Creating an input and an output pipe
  2. Calling CreatePseudoConsole() to create a ConPTY instance attached to the other end of the pipes
  3. Spawning an instance of ping.exe connected to the ConPTY
  4. Running a thread that listens for output from ping.exe, writing received text to the Console

Pre-Requirements

To build and run this sample, you must install:

Running the sample

Once successfully built, running EchoCon should clear the screen and display the results of the echo command:

Pinging Rincewind [::1] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from ::1: time<1ms
Reply from ::1: time<1ms
Reply from ::1: time<1ms
Reply from ::1: time<1ms

Ping statistics for ::1:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
