I am able to change the default terminal of all the console applications in Window 7 to ConEmu using this answer and it was really great. Until now I was creating a C++ console application project in Code::Blocks and when I "compile and run" the project it opens a ConEmu terminal. But when I tried to run a single standalone C++ file (not creating a project) in Code::Blocks it opens a default Windows terminal, not the ConEmu terminal as in earlier case.

How can I change the default terminal to ConEmu even if I run a single file C++ program in Code::Blocks?

Some related details are: (1). I am using Code::Blocks 13.12, (2). I am using Windows 7, (3). I am using ConEmuSetup.151115.exe setup.

CodeBlocks ignores requirements for lpCommandLine parameter, described in CreateProcess function. It runs command line containing spaces without quotes. I consider this is a bug of CodeBlocks and it have to be reported to their authors. For information, it runs the following:

C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks/cb_console_runner.exe "C:\source\contest.exe"

To run CodeBlocks "using short names", execute dir /X from cmd.exe in the root of C: drive and look for short name of Program Files or Program Files (x86). Most probably, you have to run CB as following C:\Progra~1\CodeBlocks\codeblocks.exe.

ConEmu build 151122 introduces a workaround for this CB bug. But, it would be better to report problem to CB authors!
