If this is possible, I would like to make in C# a wpf application that has a console window in it. Also, I would like to have the console interact with the WPF form so that if you are complete with a console activity it can tell the wpf application and close. I guess this would be a basic inheritance program, but with a console/simulated console included.

- What have you tried? I'm not sure if there's a way to add direct command console support into the application directly, but you could add a textbox and parse it out to a script file and execute it maybe?sab669– sab6692015-12-16 18:34:17 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2015 at 18:34
- Can you have a custom console window? If so, build one and put it in the WPF app. If you want the windows console (cmd.exe), then @GustavoF's answer below is probably best. As nice has it sounds opening a console with the WPF has too many warts IMO.kenny– kenny2015-12-16 18:59:05 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2015 at 18:59

You want something called interprocess communication.
There is a lot of ways of do that, but the easiest is the Named Pipes IMHO.

I was going to make a console game that you get a different graphic with each level on the outside (WPF). That was the plan, because the console is so easy to program in. Maybe I am asking the wrong question, how can I make a console-like application with wpf? I am reviewing your comments. Thank you!

WPF Text Input Controls - inside a TextBox. I think this is what I am aiming for
