How to open console window via QProcess?

I init a QProcess to open a console window, but no window is show.

QProcess *process = new QProcess();
process->start("adb devices");

Hi and welcome to devnet,

There's no reason for any console window to be shown when executing such a command.

If you want to parse the output of your process then you can read what was sent to stdout once your command has finished.

To work with Android device, I need open a console window. I want to open a console window to continue text command
Eg: "adb -s device shell" to open shell access android device

I found a keyword: "CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE" but I don't know to use it

Hi,
What you want is called a interactive shell/prompt
This is sample for Windows

QDetachableProcess process;
    QString program = "cmd.exe";
    QStringList arguments = QStringList() << "/K" << "C:\\Program Files\\Inkscape\\python.exe";
    process.setCreateProcessArgumentsModifier(
                [](QProcess::CreateProcessArguments *args) {
        args->flags |= CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE;
        args->startupInfo->dwFlags &=~ STARTF_USESTDHANDLES;
    });
    process.start(program, arguments);
    process.detach();
    }

starts python and let u type commands in it.
