I am trying to get my program to execute a command line program, retrieve the results, process them and return them to a user from my program. However, it all works fine except that it doesn't hide the command window. It always appears, you can't see anything on it because it is redirected to my program and I have no idea how to stop it. I tried it with even just a simple batch file with nothing more thanin it and it still displays the window.Code:@echo off echo Hello World
How can I prevent it from displaying the window?
Note: Using shell is not an option because shell doesn't redirect the output.
Code:
VB Code:
Dim Process As New Process 'Creates a new process Dim StreamOut As IO.StreamReader 'Creates a stream reader to read the stream from the command Dim Output As CommandOutput 'Holds the output from the command ' 'Creates the shutdown process Process.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\Echo.bat" Process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False Process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True Process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True Process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True Process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden 'Hides the window from the user Process.Start() 'Executes the process StreamOut = Process.StandardOutput 'Retrieves the output from the process Process.WaitForExit(2000) 'Waits for 20 seconds for the process to finish Output = ProcessOutput(StreamOut.ReadToEnd) 'Converts the output from the command to CommandOutput StreamOut.Close() 'Closes the stream reader
