I have noticed the code was very near what is posted on while reviewing the VT500-Series Parser diagram showing the events and states. The source code will probably be really hard to navigate without Microsoft's IDE and intellisense. I guess you could use the free compiler, but I've not tried it. The ' TerminalControlTest' is just a Windows form to use while developing the DLL.

The ' TerminalControl' project produces the DLL file. The Visual Studio Solution file is in the ' TerminalControl' directory. When you download the project, you'll find two directories, ' TerminalControl' and ' TerminalControlTest'. Maybe in the future I may have time, but it's not likely. I would be thrilled if anyone finished it up, as I have no plans to do so.

Recently, I discovered that my company already has a license for one of the commercial Terminal Emulators, so I stopped work on this project. But, it's basically functional enough that a moderately skilled C# programmer should be able to finish where I left off.

Some control codes still aren't programmed in. It needs a *lot* of work still, such as finishing up the scrolling, text selection, implementing a clipboard copy, etc. I combined Granados with Ackterm to a *.dll control that I could drag onto a Windows Form in Visual C# (or C++ or Visual Basic). The person who created the Ackterm project had mostly implemented VT100 with Telnet. I discovered a project at SourceForge, called 'Ackterm'. is immensely more difficult than you think. I couldn't justify spending money on some of the commercially available SSH components, and I eventually found the Granados SSH library.Īfter implementing Granados SSH library into my application, I realized the need to interpret and emulate VT100.

After struggling with SSH, I decided it was probably beyond my capacity to understand enough to write my own SSH library. This project started when I wanted to integrate some SSH capabilities into a tool I had written. I use various tools, some I've written, some commercial. This article demonstrates how to implement SSH and Telnet through a VT100 Emulator designed using Microsoft GDI+ and Microsoft C#.
