embed command window in form

I'm trying to embed a command window in a form in VB.NET. I remember
back in the old days there was a button in the IDE to add the window,
and I never really learned how it worked. I just downloaded Visual
Basic 2008 Express Edition and the button no longer exists. Does
anyone know how to initialize and embed a command window into a form
or control of some sort?

Thanks.

You can run other apps, or even a cmd prompt from within a program, but I
you can't easily get a command window working inside of a form. As soon as
you typed EXPLORER, it'd open a new window outside of your app.

I am having an existing VB 6 standard .EXE application. Now I am developing a wrapper application in .Net and I want to launch the VB 6 exe app embedded with in the .Net App window. That is, the standard EXE application should be activated in-place within the .Net window and should be confined within the ..Net app window. Any suggestions on how I go about doing this stuff? This is a repeat post for the new visitors.

When I run the code below after creating an Empty .Net type project and adding an Empty C++ file it always opens a command window before displaying the form. If I write a similar VB application by starting an Empty Project and adding a Code File into which I type my code, it runs without starting a command window. Is there a project property that specifies that the command window is not necessary? If I create the C++ project as a...

Is there any way to programmatically (in VB.net) control a Command Window, e.g change its size, display font size, embed it in GUI etc? It seems that the Console class will not allow you to do that!

Hi All, I need to embed the ethereal process inside my .NET app. ( http://www.ethereal.com ) I assume the best solution would be getting hands on the ethereal main window form and host it in my app. (BTW - unmanaged code...) However, I'm not sure how easy it is or even if its possible, so I was thinking about launching the ethereal process from my application and "just" displaying it's main form in one of my application's panes.

Hi, Does anybody have any information on where I can find some details of how I would go about embedding an existing Java swing application into the window (form?) of a new .Net application on Windows. I'd like to take a useful existing java app which I work on day to day and allow users to view it in a new .Net app the company are working on.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
