Input character Color in Procomm
- Thread starter sammmcs
- Start date
Generally screen colors will be set by the host system sending escape sequences that Procomm would receive and act on accordingly. If that is not possible with your system, you may be able to fake it by using several when target commands to detect prompts or other text that indicates an opportunity to enter input is about to appear, send the appropriate escape sequence to the Procomm terminal window, then reset the color afterwards. This is just speculation since I've never tried it, but I think it might work.

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to this sooner. I think this is doable, but it will take a little work. The first thing is to find out what terminal emulation you are using in Procomm. I think then it should be relatively easy to send the proper escape sequence to the terminal window to change the character color then watch for the carriage return to indicate you are done typing, and change the character color back to the existing value.

Not that I'm aware of, but I don't think it would be too difficult if the underlying premise works (I haven't had a chance to do much testing of this yet).
