Hi,
I am trying to start a process hidden. My code:
wordprocess = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); ;
wordprocess.StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(wcmd,
args);
wordprocess.StartInfo.WindowStyle =
System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
wordprocess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = TemplatePath.Substring(0,
TemplatePath.Length - 1);
wordprocess.StartInfo.ErrorDialog = false;
wordprocess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
wordprocess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
The process is started but it is visible.
CreateNoWindow has no effect because the process I am starting is not a
command line process. I have tried UseShellExecute being true and
false. I have tried to start the process minimized but that has also no
effect. I found several threads discussing this problem but nobody
wrote anything that solves the problem.
With best regards,

Paul,
Does this Process receive input? If so; the Process Window can not be
Hidden:
Hidden
The hidden window style. A window can be either visible or hidden. The
system displays a hidden window by not drawing it. If a window is hidden,
it is effectively disabled. A hidden window can process messages from the
system or from other windows, but it cannot process input from the user or
display output. Frequently, an application may keep a new window hidden
while it customizes the window's appearance, and then make the window style
Normal.
Is tis what you want?

John,
the process receives no input. If I use C++ and WIN32-API CreateProcess
the process does not become visible.
The process is MS Word and I want it to work on a .doc-File that
contains VBA macro code. When finished, the VBA code will terminate
Word.
It works but Word is visible while working on the VBA macro. I came to
the conclusion that Process.Start may not handle the Hidden-flag
correctly. As a workaround, I am placing my own application window in
front of word. Later I will probably have to write a little C++ process
that handles starting Word.
Another solution would be to use the Word COM-objects instead of
starting Word as a new process. I do not really like that solution. It
creates dependencies I would like to avoid and an in-process COM object
may have adverse effects on my application. When started as an external
process, Word cannot hurt my application and I can terminate the
process if it behaves badly.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Regards,
Paul Hoepping

Hello Paul,
Have you been able to solve this problem?
We're having a similar one.
Best wishes,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
no, I have made no progress solving this problem. The best I can do is:
Before starting the new process, I make my own window TopMost. When
start MS Word, the new window appears behind my own application window.
Within the VBA macro I have programmed that MS Word minimizes itself.
So, after a couple a seconds, MS Word disappears.
If you find a solution, please let me know.
With best regards,
Paul Hoepping.
