OK, I realize this one might be very involved, in anyone has a sample they would be willing to share please email to [email protected]

Here is the question:
I have a dos program that running out of a vb app using the Shell command. I want to know 2 things, first how do you tell the app when the shell command has finished or the dos thread has finished. Second, is there a way to show a progress bar while this shell command is running. The second is not that important as long as the program knows when the process is done I can slap a Picture or Text saying it is done. Thanks.
