Hello,

do we have a TerminalCtrl? I am afraid we do not have one in which to type command of the current operative system.

My problem is the following. My Upp program is just a driver of a console program. Now I run it calling the Windows method CreateProcess(...). Unfortunately I must call that external program as if I were within a given directory... that I cannot set because there is no terminal Confused

Is there a way to simulate at runtime a sort of

cd C:\some_folder
and then execute the command?

Thanks,
Luigi

PS: this console program is HUGO, a static web generator. I am trying to make a trivial front end with a TreeCtrl and a CodeEditor.
