I have an unmanged C++ app (App A) which launches my VB app (App B).
I need the form in AppB to be invisible until App A post a windows message
that App B recognises and shows its form and controls.
I can handle the messaging by overriding WndProc, but I can't get App B
started without showing itself.
Any suggestions on how to do this?

I would think you would simply tell the App B form in code to hide itself
during the Form Load process.

I do that, but still it displays. I guess I must be making it visible
somewhere else.
Thanks

Hi Dave,
What about setting the opacity into 0% ? It should render your form
invisible.

This should to the trick
Form f = new Form();
f.Name = "InvisibleForm" ;
f.ShowInTaskbar = false;
f.Visible = false;
//TestProps(f);
Application.Run (f);

window first which gets displayed and then the real windows after a while,in
other words it means that the process name is the same, but the handle I need
to retrive is the one from the final window and not the...

I then wait for it to finish by calling StartedProcess.WaitForExit();
Problem is:
When I close the MFC app if there is an window behind my .NET app it
will come to the front leaving my .NET app at the back.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
