I execute a DOS batch in my Windows program (programmatically start the batch from my program running under Windows). How do I prevent the DOS window from flashing up? Thanks!

Since Start is an internal interpreter command you may have to code

cmd /C start "" /Min Batch_Name

Inside your Windows application launch the batch by issuing

start "" /Min Batch_Name
<(b>
That runs the batch minimized on the taskbar, not silently but almost stealth.

Thank you Ivo. I "unfortunately" program using WinDev and I can enter only one line into the function ExeRun(), which starts another executable or a batch. How would I apply your suggested solution to that? What is <(b> ? Thank you!
