Solved Can You Make a Form In a Batch File?

  • 2

I was just wondering… like in Microsoft Word 5.5 setup (which Microsoft put out as open source software some time ago), can you create form elements, such as combo boxes or text areas? I don’t want it to open a new window, though.

      It’s not possible with batch.

      It is possible with other languages inside a console window, but unless you can find a utility that someone has wrote, or a library, it can take LOTS of effort.

      I have written programs like this(in my own crude way) in c++ with the windows API that come out at ~9000 lines of code. It could be done more efficiently that this but if you want complex input fields in a console window expect to put in some serious effort if you want to do it yourself.

      Check out a couple of the programs here:
