Change the application.

If you are using Console.ReadLine or similar in your App then it echoes the characters to the "screen" as if they were typed, and there isn't a way to override that from the outside.
So, if it's your app, change it so talk directly, instead of using the keyboard input.

I don't enter the commands directly from the keyboard, they are from textboxes e.g [txtCommand.text = "powercfg /x standby-timeout-ac 1440"]. This gets displayed in the listbox together with the output. I have even tried to remove the last item before data is displayed with [ lisbox1.Items.RemoveAt(lisbox1.Items.Count - 1)]
