I never really used that control but this looks like you could use an Embedder[0] to make another application work for you from inside your window. This would be a totally lazy approach :-) If you want your own terminal window to not be so dependent on the presence of other software, you can write a form and use Workspace[1]. A few days ago I saw that we also can do hForm = New FMyForm(dwgDrawingArea) and it works like a charm. Why implement custom controls when we can easily compose windows and instantiate them to a DrawingArea? :-) Anyways, with these two ways, it shouldn't be that difficult to get a view (and function) very similar to the picture.
