Tools Output Window

HippoEDIT can catch output from integrated tools and forward it to Tools Output Window.

If you want to change Font name, font color or background color for the Output window you can do it same way as you do this for text editor, based on syntax settings. Output Window has his own syntax definition, but with reduced set of properties.

Output Window supports input. Try to add as tool cmd.exe to get integrated DOS console:

• For bat files pause can be used
• You can edit last typed command
• You can have special exit command defined for tool that is send to tool when you call Cancel tool from HippoEDIT. Not available in UI yet, but can be defined in as xml attribute for tool in *_user.xml. exit_cmd=“exit” for example. For cmd.exe exit as exit command automatically defined.
• You can paste commands (or commands sets)
• You can type commands directly
