A simple console\terminal window for use in a WPF application

Simple.Wpf.Terminal

A simple console\terminal window for use in a WPF application, this is a user control that will allow the user to enter a line of text (script\command) and\or display a list of items in a console\terminal style.

This user control does NOT actually do anything more than display data - the user control is the View (UI) in a MVVM implementation, the ViewModel would be responsible for the actual behaviour & contents of the console\terminal window. The user control is designed to use XAML binding for all UI properties the user can configure.

The control supports theming and there are a couple of example themes supplied in the Simple.Wpf.Terminal.Themes project.

For more information about the releases see [Release Info] (https://github.com/oriches/Simple.Wpf.Terminal/wiki/Release-Info).

For more information about the styling the control see [Style Info] (https://github.com/oriches/Simple.Wpf.Terminal/wiki/Style-Info).

Currently we support the following .Net versions:

Supported versions:

.NET framework 4.0 and higher,

This library is available as a nuget [package] (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Simple.Wpf.Terminal/).
