Streaming CMD ouput to textbox

[EDN Admin]

So I recently got sorted out being able to send a cmd.exe function from a button and have the output show up in a text box. The problem that exists now is that if I insert a function that loops the application never returns the output because its coded to
output to the text box only after the function has completed is process. For example, if I wanted to use ping -t google.com I would never receive the output because the process doesnt complete. How can I stream to this text box instead of only getting output
after its completed the process.
The code I am using for a button is
<pre class="lang-vb prettyprint
