CreateProcessWithLogonW - how to run in hidden window

[haddaway]

Let's say I want to start notepad.exe. It's a bad example, but how can I make it run in hidden mode with the WindowsAPI above?

thanks

There's a very simple way to start an application hidden in VB .NET:

Dim P As New Process
With P.StartInfo
  .FileName = "notepad.exe"
  .WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
End With
P.Start()

But if you insist on using the API above, you have to set the STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW on STARTUPINFO.dwFlags and set STARTUPINFO.wShowWindow to 0 (zero).

I does not seem to work. I use:

myStartUpInfo.wShowWindow = 0

and it still shows. Do I have to do anything more than settings that to 0 and adding the startupinfo to the process?

What about CreationFlags? Right now I am using default.

thanks
