   Alrighty so there's kinda two separate bits here:

   • Create a version of the sample that uses WinUI3 & WASDK
   • Create a Terminal Control to use in a WASDK app

   The first is probably a lot easier. The sample is mostly illustrative of the ConPTY APIs. All of the GUIConsole.ConPTY project should work the same in WASDK. The GUIConsole.WPF project is more of a placeholder app - it shows how to wire that up to some UI layer, but I'd never recommend anyone build production code on top of that. It's a viable place to start to understand the APIs, but appending lines to a text block is a terribly un-performant way of rendering text.

   The second is... much harder. We do have a TermControl written for WinUI2 today. It's not ready for someone to take a dependency on it, for sure. I don't think we're doing anything MUX 2.x with it though, but there's definitely gaps before it's ready to be used in WinUI 3. We're tracking productizing that control in #6999.

   I'll use this issue to track the first point. Thanks!

   Create a Terminal Control to use in a WASDK app

   That would be AWESOME! ❤️

   It is what I was looking for at the beginning of my project. But then, when I saw that the Windows Terminal also has APIs, I thought it might be worth a try and I find out the GUIConsole WPF sample.

   ...but I'd never recommend anyone build production code on top of that. It's a viable place to start to understand the APIs, but appending lines to a text block is a terribly un-performant way of rendering text.

   Thanks for the hint!
   Given this consideration, would it be possible to improve the code sample to let it use a better approach?

   Thanks a lot!

   I mean, maybe? But the point of that sample isn't really an exercise in performant text rendering, it's more about "how do I use the conpty APIs in a WPF application". In that sense, the sample does quite well. We certainly don't have the bandwidth to optimize that sample farther, but I wouldn't reject PRs to it. I'd rather spend our efforts on the real solution. If you're serious about embedding a terminal control in your application, then #6999 is probably what you'd be more interested in.

    Mike Griese (@zadjii-msft) Are there any news about those 2 arguments?

    1. Create a version of the sample that uses WinUI3 & WASDK
    2. Create a Terminal Control to use in a WASDK app

    Nope, no progress on this front. EDIT: To clarify, this is in the Icebox, which basically means we don't expect the core team to ever have the resources to get around to this. We'd definitely accept community contributions though.
