Hello friends,
Is there any VB functions to execute DOS commands directly? Like I want to say, let execute() be the function.
The code will be like somehow this.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
execute("md Folder1")
execute("cd Folder1")
End Sub
Now, Is there such any function in reality in VB???

hi sribasu, There is no such code to simply execute DOS command like that. But, there is way to achieve that where you can create your own function to do that.
here is the function code you have to add to run your program.
Private Sub Execute(ByVal sCommand as String)
Open CurDir & "\mycmd.bat" For Output As #1
Print #1, sCommand
Close #1
Shell CurDir & "\mycmd.bat", vbNormalFocus
End Sub

Elegantly executed! Using a DOS batch file to do a series of commands in one shell command!

you can try shell commands.
something like this:
shell("notepad.exe")
