Hello World

[Sourcerer]

I'm making a "hello world" program in C#, though a bit more complex one.

When I click on a button in my program, it is supposed to open a program (say,
Notepad) - that I did, by opening Notepad as another process. using Process
class.

Clicking another button, my program should make "Hello World!" appear in notepad
it's previously opened.

How can I do that?

You probably can't. What you can do is to open a new copy of Notepad
with a selected textfile loaded by including the name of the textfile
as an argument when you fire up Notepad:

ProcessStartInfo PSI = new ProcessStartInfo();
PSI.FileName = "notepad.exe";
PSI.Arguments = "hello.txt";
Process.Start(PSI);

It's not the easiest thing to do. You could probably do it by using the
SendMessage windows API and send keystrokes to notepad.
