Command box

maikelj

Hello there,

I've got the following question:

I'm printing a label with the SHELL function.
This gives me a command box when i'm printing a label.
Is it possible to make this command box invisible??

Use the /c switch (e.g. cmd /c "foo.exe")

Thanks Jan,

I've tried the parameter. The '/c' is for closing the dos-box when
a command is executed. For example 'dir'.

But is it possible that the dos-box is completely invisible?
Or perhaps minimalized?

If you are using SHELL to call DOS batch files, try to place CLS command at end of batch, this will close DOS window.

If you are calling other programs (EXE, COM), call them via BAT with CLS at end. This is my trick how to close DOS window
