如何在VB6中打开外部exe文件后保持其运行？

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim exePath As String
    exePath = "C:\Path\to\your\external.exe" ' 替换为外部exe文件的路径
    
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", exePath, "", "", 1 ' 启动外部应用程序
    
    AppActivate Me.Caption ' 将焦点切换回VB6应用程序
End Sub
