When you try to do things using Windows Batch, you normally think on a Text Program, but I want to know if there is anyway to use instead of those string inputs at the command window, put on a TextField, and that the messages get displayed at a MsgBox. Also, if it’s possible to hide the console window.
Don’t matter if VBScript is needed, but only Batch should be better for me
There was GUI programs in DOS, remember that all windows version before 98 SE all started from DOS ( Not NT kernal based os off course, like we are all using now).
Assuming your not planning on writing a DOS app ( qbasic can do this i think). You can off course do a few tings.
DOS based menus, sort of easy UI where you would use number on your keyboard to navigate. If your not going for any of the above solutions, you can use a batch file to Start a Windows applciation.
There are also solutions where you could either start a application, or even use a system compiler to compile the code for the app you want.
You can off course start the DOS window hidden, that kind of depends on where you start it from.
