Console App question

[Ron Vecchi]

I am looking for a way to write xml data to file from a macromedia flash
executable. I was thinking about haveing flash call a console app with a
parameter...whi ch is the xml string to write to file.

But is there a way to supress the console window from poping up. So there
is no visual effect of calling the console app?

Make it be a Windows app with no main window.

Re: Console App question

You can do this using SetParent (Win32 api) with HWND_MESSAGE.
Check Platform SDK.

Hi Ron,

If you do not want to let the console window pop up, I think you will not
do output or input to console window, so you can do it in winform
application.
You can create a winform application without window. Simply, I think you
can just change your console application's "Output Type" from "Console
application" to "Windows Applicaiton", then the window will not popup.

Hope this helps,

Re: Console App question

If you are executing the console app programmaticall y then you can execute
the console app and suppress the creation of the visble console window.

ProcessStartInf o i = new ProcessStartInf o(@"c:\MyDir\my app.exe","args" );
i.CreateNoWindo w = true;
i.UseShellExecu te = false;
i.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowSt yle.Hidden; // not sure if you need this
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo = i;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit() ;
