Is it creating a ghost copy every time you move it or only once?

<div>
I only move it via code one time and it doesn't create the ghost then but instead leaves a ghost of where it was originally. &nbsp;Then if I grab the window I can use it kind of like an eraser to erase the ghost.

Does the same thing happen if the code is run in the IDE? If NOT then try putting a DoEvents line after the code that moves the window.

Is your app by chance waiting for the command prompt window to close?

How are you opening that command prompt?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an app that opens a command prompt window then moves that command prompt window. &nbsp;Everything works fine but after the command prompt window is moved there is a &quot;ghost&quot; of the window where it originally was. &nbsp;If you grab the command prompt window and move it around it will erase the ghost of itself if that makes sense. &nbsp;<br />

What I need is something that will refresh the screen to get rid of the &quot;ghost&quot; image of the command prompt window (vb6).

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
