I've written an app that starts and monitors a number of processes. If
one of those processes dies, the app restarts it. One of the options
I've written hides the main window of the monitored process (since
there are 99 processes, I'm trying to keep the screen clutter to a
minimum). Basicly, I start the app, then minimize, maximize, show, or
hide it based on the option chosen. My problem comes with the actual
app I'm monitoring. It doesn't like the ShowWindow function, and it
doesn't respect the StartInfo.Windo wStyle property. I have taken to
starting the app minimized, then using one of the following based on
the option given: (note, SW, WM, ans SC are enums with the appropriate
values, and prTarget is a System.Diagnost ics.Process)
ShowWindow(prTa rget.MainWindow Handle, SW.HIDE)
SendMessage(prT arget.MainWindo wHandle, WM.SYSCOMMAND, SC.MAXIMIZE, 0)
SendMessage(prT arget.MainWindo wHandle, WM.SYSCOMMAND, SC.MINIMIZE, 0)
SendMessage(prT arget.MainWindo wHandle, WM.SYSCOMMAND, SC.RESTORE, 0)
Again, this works for every other application I've tried (testing by
monitoring notepad, charmap, calc, etc. on my computer). Prerviously,
I had been using ShowWindow calls to maximize, minimize, and restore,
but this caused wierd behavior with the production app. So my
questions are:
1. Is there a better way to hide the process?
2. Is there a way to get the current hidden, maximized, minimized,
restored state of the window from the process or MainWindowHandl e?

i have some forms which use javascript for data validation, e.g.,

if an error occurs, i'm sending the user a message via the alert

Hi,
My question is this : how do I detect from
another window which didn't create a new window whether
it exists ? For example, is there a window-id's container
of some sort that hangs around that I can interrogate ?
I would like to find a better way of doing the following.
I have a window (call it Win) that creates a new window (call it Win2)
using window.open().

When one uses the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method to launch a common
or garden Console application, one can set the WindowStyle property of the
StartInfo object to ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden so that the window for the
Console application is not visible.
However, when using some of the 'advanced' properties of the StartInfo
object, like Username, Password and Domain, the WindowsStyle property of the
StartInfo object is ignored....

I'm writing an application with forms. my main window can be hidden (minimize to a tray icon) like...Microsoft Outlook for example.
this application can run only one instance (again like outlook) - meaning that on initialization, I check if there is another process running and if so I exit from the new one.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
