Question
Hello.
I want to write a program in VB that sends commands to a telvet setion.
I am tring to create a program that sends an e-mail automaticlly in the background. So I need to access the SMTP server using the Telnet and to send it commands.
I don't want the Telnet window to open, I want it to be in the background.
Can you help me ?
Thank you.

Answer
Liron,
I feel when the telnet window/ application does open, you could always program it open the minimized state. Use some of Windows APIs to achieve that. You could always get the handle of the open applications and then decide the course of action as to which application should be in the foreground. Do you also require any specific help in the telnet programming part?
regards
abhi
