Run batch file minimized

[Mads Westen]

Hi,
I need to run a batch file wich I would like to run minimized.
The batchfile runs a exe file with some arguments, and deletes af file, and
remanes another.

How can I do that minimized? I know I can make a vbs file, and use the
following line to minimize:
Set WSHShell = Nothing

But can I do the same thing in C#?

Im running the bat file using:
System.Diagnost ics.Process proc = new System.Diagnost ics.Process();
proc.EnableRais ingEvents=true;
proc.StartInfo. FileName="C:\Sh arp\Batfile.bat ;
proc.Start();

In fact, I could run the exe file, with arguments direct from C#?

Best regards
Mads

Mads,
Try this.
proc.StartInfo. WindowStyle = System.Diagnost ics.ProcessWind owStyle.Minimiz ed;

Also when you specify the file name try

proc.StartInfo. FileName="C:\\S harp\\Batfile.b at;

or

proc.StartInfo. FileName=@"C:\S harp\Batfile.ba t;

All the best,
Phil.

Hi Phil,

Your suggestion works perfekt. I went with the .Hidden style at the end.
But your code let me the right way - thank you very much!
