Below are my current codes that will run a .VBS file.

When I run the code it will open an CMD app to show the process.

Now how can I run the .VBS file and the process will be shown in Textbox/Richtextbox.

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Dim t As String = Cmb1.SelectedItem

        If Cmb1.SelectedItem = "" Or Cmb2.SelectedItem = "" Then
            MsgBox("Error", MsgBoxStyle.Critical, Me.Text)
        Else

            Try

                Dim proc As Process = Nothing
                Dim batDir As String = String.Format("C:\")
                proc = New Process()
                proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = batDir
                proc.StartInfo.FileName = t.Trim + ".vbs"
                proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False
                proc.Start()
                proc.WaitForExit()

            Catch ex As Exception
                Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace.ToString())

            End Try

        End If

    End Sub

The trick is to redirect the standard output.

Have a look at the attached VB 2010 project. It implements a GUI where you can type a DOS command into a textbox and execute it. It runs the command in a separate process and the output is captured and displayed in another textbox. You could adapt this to execute a vbs file or any other DOS program.

'    GUI front end for a command line shell

'  Notes:
' 
'    Type all the regular DOS commands in the text box input and they are
'    executed with the results displayed in the top portion of the display.
