VB Calling MSDOS commands

[Pritesh]

Hi guys,

I have a button that i made in one of my VB projects. It looks nice.
I want that button to call a batch file or run a dos command at the command prompt, like 'ipconfig', how od i go about this?
The full code would be very helpful or a point in the right direction would be great.
(I'm lazy too, can someone do this one for me???)
lol, kidding about that last bit.
Thanks guys for any help or advice.

You want to use SHELL commands to run your DOS command through a batch file.

There is syntax simmilar to this in the following forum:

or a bit easier, w/o the API calls
Dim oWSHShell

Set oWSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

oWSHShell.Run "Command line string"
