Performing time-consuming commands or sub-functions from button in dialog

[Davider]

In the code example below, the wmic command or sub-function is executed from a button in a dialog box, and they are quite time-consuming, resulting in the dialog box becoming unresponsive.

How can these commands or functions be executed asynchronously? Or are there any methods to prevent the dialog box from becoming unresponsive?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.
