Display a DOS window on my front panel

I'm programming an application that uses a CAN communication program which opens a MS DOS window to show the status. Initially I was just going to ignore the window but I think it would be best to have it visible for troubleshooting. I wanted to use an ActiveX container like I do for my web browser pages but can find any ActiveX objects that appear like they would work. Is there something designed for this purpose? The window does not even need to be interactive just an indicator window. Im sure theres a way, hopefully someone knows it.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

OK, I solved my own problem again, apparently it has to do with the wait until completion settings and some seemingly awkward formatting. Ill attach my example incase someone else ever runs into the issue.
