Window still visible

[Peter Morris]

private void ExecuteCalculat ionEngine()
{
string executionPath = Path.GetDirecto ryName(InputFil eName);
Directory.SetCu rrentDirectory( executionPath);
var startInfo = new ProcessStartInf o(Path.Combine( executionPath,
"xxxxxxxxx.exe" ));
startInfo.Windo wStyle = ProcessWindowSt yle.Hidden;
startInfo.Creat eNoWindow = true;
startInfo.Worki ngDirectory = executionPath;
Process.Start(s tartInfo).WaitF orExit();
}

Can anyone tell me why the window still appears?


Thanks

Re: Window still visible

Did you write the executable being launched (xxxxxxx.exe)? If not, and it
is a windows forms app, then perhaps the developer makes the form visible on
startup. This worked for me from a forms app launching a forms app that I
wrote, and did not forcibly make visible.

Why did you declare startinfo as a var?

Re: Window still visible

Hi Mike

No, I didn't.

If not, and it is a windows forms app, then perhaps the developer makes
the form visible on startup.

That is very possible. Does anyone know how I can iterate forms owned by a
process and then hide them?

Why did you declare startinfo as a var?

I suspect this is a path of discussion I don't have time for :-)
