Is there public API to change the input source of the console view to
another (previously launched) IProcess?
Thanks,
Curt

I just realized that redirecting the streams isn't going to be enough.
There's also the problem of the console view's title, the stop button state,
and process list button. I've thought about doing the same at the IProcess
level, that is, have a single IProcess that changes all its attributes when
the user switches, but this would become a big ugly workaround. What I'm
looking for is the same functionality as the debug view.. when you select a
launch/process, the console displays the process output. We want the same to
happen in our view.
How much time/effort would it involve on your part to add API for this?
Thanks,
Curt

I think I misunderstood your question - I thought you wanted one process
(output) to write to another process (input).
The console view automatically changes to display the output of a selected
process (when a process/launch/debug target is selected). Do you need API to
do that?

Yes, I need API to specify which process is selected. This would be called
each time the user selects a different process or remote agent in our view,
and would in turn automatically update the console with the output from that
process.

OK - this API does not yet exist (but see my next post). It will exist in
3.0 (hopefully in M3).
If you are using the latest integration build, you will be able to see
what's coming by looking at IConsoleView, IConsoleManager, and IConsole.
