Solution 1

Instead of trying to invoke the Run window, consider creating a small window of your own for the command input and then using the static System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method.

5 assuming the question was about "CMD".

Thanks, yes you're right that was an assumption, not necessarily the original case OP had in mind.

VB

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim temp As Integer
        temp = Shell("\windows\system32\cmd.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
        MsgBox(temp)
    End Sub
End Class

Will this do?
