Run application in TCM tab

[vfloyd]

Hello,

I want to write an application which could be used as an external tool in TCM tu run any other app in a TCM Tab. But to do this I need to get the HWND of the tab in TCM. Is there a way to get it ?

To be more precise, the feature would be an entry in the custom user menu of TCM. When used, it would create a new tab and give its HWND to my plugin.

First I wanted to use a wlx plugin, because the ListLoad() interface give the HWND parent. But I don't know if a "Lister" plugin can be used to do what I describe above. Any idea ?

Tabs do not have their own hwnd in Total Commander. The tab header is just for switching directories, the file panels remain the same and are just re-read.

Thank for your answer. So there is absolutely no way to do what I want ? It would be great to use total commander as a full environnement, with application running into it.

What will be the benefit in shrinking applications windows into TC tabs?

[vfloyd]

It would not be usefull for all application of course. But I would be happy to have putty or cmd.exe embedded in a tab.

Searched for TConsole after seeing this topic, but it doesn't work for me anymore (32bit TC8.50b15 on windows 7 64bit)
