I know Process can used to call an external application like
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = myDocumentsPath + "\MyFile.doc"
myProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print"
myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
myProcess.Start()
However, what if i want to call a sub function which requires a long time to
process?

I am trying to use a thread to do so but it is hard to control the process
state, any suggestions?

Use the '&' operator to concatenate strings in VB.NET.
myProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print"
myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
myProcess.Start()

Your application won't wait for the "shelled" application to terminate.
 
Hi Norton,

Do you read the standardoutput from the shell application in your program?

Otherwise see the statement from Herfried.
