Hiding cmd promt window

[Shyam Prakash]

Hello All,

I am puzzled over how to hide the cmd prompt window??

mycopy.exe copies a know set of files from one location to the other.
Here I am struggling to hide / supress the cmd prompt window which stays
until the process is exited.

<code snippet>

Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"mycopy.exe";
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
proc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.hidden;
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
proc.Close();

</code snippet>

Upon a few browses, I understood that, ProcessWindowStyle works well for
the application invoked (for ex, notepad through a cmd prompt) but not
on the cmd prompt itself.

Can anyone please help me in how to overcome this?.
Thanks in advance

Why don't you turn mycopy.exe in .NET code so you can call it directly in
your page and bypass the command prompt altogether?

Hello Ken,

That will do for my own code but in case mycopy.exe is a third party
tool then how to handle that??

Even in a simple case where I open a Notepad.exe, I get the cmd prompt
window.

Thanks
