Calling DOS commands in VB

[rossmcl]

Hi

I have a VB form that I want to display some information normally got via DOS prompt, namely

net user USERNAME /domain |more

Is there any way if calling this in VB so the result is displayed in a VB text box?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm sure there's a better way, but you could pipe the DOS command to a file and then read the file into VB to populate your msgbox.....

Get All DOS Environment Variables

An example of DOS Environment variables:

PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2
PROMPT=$p$g
winbootdir= C:\WINDOWS

Preparations
Add 1 Command Button and 1 Text Box to your form.
Set the Text Box MultiLine property to True.

Form Code
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Env As String
Dim x As Integer
x = 1
Env = Environ(x)
Text1 = ""
Do Until Env = ""
Env = Environ(x)
Text1 = Text1 + Env & vbNewLine
x = x + 1
Loop
End Sub
