I made a small program that start 3 shells to dos program. I start those program in minimize mode. I can't figure out how I can from my program make the user go from one dos program to the other from a click in my menu, not on the task bar.
When I do a shell, do we lose control of the process or is there a way to get control back?
Should I use something different than the shell command??
Help!

Shell to dos program - Visual Basic 6
Yes, you have very limited control over the dos shelled app. You can make it close automatically using command /c <parameters>, or you can cause your app to suspend operation until the shelled window is closed.
What are you shelling for ... there may be VB equivalent code ?
Please respond only to the newsgroups so all can benefit.
