switch to interactive mode from cli

[InfantileMan]

Hi, Daniele
Is there any way to switch to interactive mode from cli?
For example I have function UploadToDevice() which searches for connected usb devices and show them by list:
Connected usb-devices:

1. first device
2. second device
3. third device
   and then asks the user which one to choose. User should enter the number 1-3, but the user does not see the input number because terminal in "ManualMode" then program requires confirmation from user and user must again enter something and etc.
   I call function UploadToDevice() inside lambda

rootMenu->Insert("Upload", [](std::ostream& out){
  ...
  UploadToDevice();
  ...
});

user input inside UploadToDevice function should not be written to history, but user should see their input in terminal
how to solve this problem?

Unfortunately, I think it's not possible to mix up CLI with other functions that wait for user input.
You can try by using CliFileSession instead of CliLocalSession (see example simplelocalsession.cpp): in that way you don't get advanced features of cli (e.g., history and autocompletion), but maybe you can integrate your function easily.

Daniele, thanks for the answer and with the existing functionality the library is pretty good.
