Process.Start

Hi all
I added the following code to my program but the process doesn't open with a
minimized window

Dim obProcessStyle As New Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(sNewFullFilePathName)
obProcessStyle.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized

Thank you,
Shmuel Shulman

Do you use it like this
\\
Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInfo
pi.arguments = "c:\windows\win.ini"
pi.FileName = "notepad.exe"
p.startinfo = pi
p.Start()
///

Why you use ob before every object, everything is an object or a value, so
what is that giving extra information?.

However I hope that the sample helps?

Your code works for me as expected. What program are you starting?
