This sample implements a simple "Echo Console" that illustrates the mechanism by which a caller can directly invoke & communicate with Command-Line applications. 1. Creates two pipes - one for output, the second for output 1. Creates a Pseudo Console attached to the other end of the pipes 1. Creates a child process (an instance of `ping.exe` in this case), attached to the Pseudo Console 1. Creates a thread that reads the input pipe, displaying received text on the screen |

"EchoCon" ConPTY Sample App
This is a very simple sample application that illustrates how to use the new Win32 Pseudo Console (ConPTY) by:
- Creating an input and an output pipe
- Calling
CreatePseudoConsole()to create a ConPTY instance attached to the other end of the pipes - Spawning an instance of
ping.execonnected to the ConPTY - 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:
- Windows 10 Insider build 17733 or later
- Latest Windows 10 Insider SDK
Running the sample
Once successfully built, running EchoCon should clear the screen and display the results of the echo command:
