In VB6 or C++?

C++

Code:

ShellExecute( NULL, "open", "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe",NULL, NULL, SW_MINIMIZE);

VB6

Code:

Private Const SW_MINIMIZE As Long = 2 'I think 2 is minimize
Shell "c:\test.exe", SW_MINIMIZE

None of these responses actually answer the question.

If you want to hide the window of the application, you can do it like this:

Code:

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public Class frmMain

<DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError:=True)> _
Private Shared Function SetWindowPos(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal hWndInsertAfter As IntPtr, _
ByVal X As Integer, _
ByVal Y As Integer, _
ByVal cx As Integer, _
ByVal cy As Integer, _
ByVal uFlags As UInt32) As Boolean
End Function

Private Const SWP_NOSIZE As UInt32 = &H1
Private Const SWP_NOMOVE As UInt32 = &H2
Private Const SWP_NOZORDER As UInt32 = &H4
Private Const SWP_HIDEWINDOW As UInt32 = &H80
Private Const HIDEWINDOW_FLAGS As UInt32 = SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE Or SWP_NOZORDER Or SWP_HIDEWINDOW

Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim cmd As Process = Process.Start("cmd.exe", "/k echo This is a command sent to the hidden CMD window!")
Dim hwnd As IntPtr = 0
Threading.Thread.Sleep(15)
hwnd = cmd.MainWindowHandle
SetWindowPos(hwnd, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_HIDEWINDOW)
End Sub

End Class

I have no idea in VB, but in C++ I would probably put it in a header. So in VB you would probably put it in a Module.
