ProcessStartInf o & CreateNoWindow not launching new window

spamproof2005

I have the following code:

Dim BrowserLauncher As New ProcessStartInf o
BrowserLauncher .FileName = URL BrowserLauncher .CreateNoWindow =
False
BrowserLauncher .UseShellExecut e = True
BrowserLauncher .WindowStyle = ProcessWindowSt yle.Maximized
Process.Start(B rowserLauncher)

Each time I run this, IE does NOT open a new browser window but instead
uses a current browser I already have open.

Anyone know away around this? I'm coding from VB.NET windows form
trying to launch a web page.

Note: If I don't have any browser open at all, a new browser IS
launched.

Any help would be appreciated.

Because you are passing the url as the filename to execute, I am sure the
windows shell see's a process already exists to handle this command then
routes it straight there.

It is the same as going to start->run, then typing in a url.

If you want a new window to open each time, you will need to start the
iexplore.exe process. If you pass the URL as a command argument it will
open a new window each time as it is actually starting the iexplore.exe
process.

BrowserLauncher .Filename = "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplo re.exe"
(your own path will probably be here.)
BrowserLauncher .Arguments = URL

HTH,

PS, nice cross post.

by: Matt | last post by:

I am running a exe from command line in my application and when I use ProcessStartInfo it seems to duplicate all the commands within the function. for instance I write a file. Without my ProcessStartInfo the file I write does what it is supposed to do and writes 1 file. With ProcessStartInfo it writes two files it even creates the random ListName for the file twice (different numbers). When I go look at it through the debug process...

Process, ProcessStartInfo fail to run large batch file

by: Leo Heska | last post by:

Hi I haven't seen the following problem mentioned anywhere We have an application written in VB.NET which executes a batch file (named startJob.cmd).

Is this a bug in fx2? I expect they did not carry forward all the StartInfo properties to api used with Username/Password.
