DataBinding to Console standard output

[Khaz]

I'm interested in binding the Text property of a Windows Form application's TextBox to the standard output stream of the Console.
The Form app will be run from RunUO, and so it will be tied to the RunUO console. I'd like to be able to display all the text that gets sent to the console there, as well as in the form's textbox.
I have something started:

m_MainForm.ConsoleTBox.DataBindings.Add( new Binding( "Text", /*object*/, /*object property*/ );

I've tried redirecting the console output to a StreamWriter, but that doesn't have any properties I can feasibly use.
I wouldn't mind creating a new listener, but I can't find any events sent by either the StreamWriter or the Console that tells me when the text/buffer has been changed.

Taking all advice! :P

You would hook a TextWriter that you make to the Consoles TextWriter, then when it sends the text you just Append it to the Textbox.

A little word of advice however, you will have BIGTIME issues doing this if the console doesnt exist. If it isnt there and a Console.ReadKey or ReadLine comes up the program freaks out and crashes cause theres no console. The only way around this is alot of editing of scripts and server core files.

Take my advice, do not edit anything in the core, create a remoting program that does this, a GUI remoting program is a better idea, and you can do just as many if not more things to the server this way. Its secure, and you can create different things that ur staff can do, for instance, remote login for GMs ,Admins, Devs and such. Take my advice as ive gone down this road and infact have a fully functional GUI Server with plugin support and all, but the speed decrease from running it with GUI is noticable and not worth the effort.

Just my 2 cents. Remote Client FTW.

here is a good way of doing what you need. it is not exactly what are you are looking for, you will need some changes. and you might not need to change the core, but only add a few scripts. here

Yeah, I'm not interested in modifying the core for this task. Thanks
