I'm sorry if this was posted several times. I did not see my previous
post appear after I posted it.
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?

Dear all,
I have an application which is suppose to start another executable process.
As soon as that process is running, I need to retrive its handle. The
problem of the particular process I am starting is that it has a welcome
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...

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....

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:
