CreateProcess to DOS-style GUI application-

[Elina Lazebnik]

I have a problem with black window (like question from 15/05/01). I call from my app.(by CreateProcess) the MATLAB created exe, that open black window(like DOS) and from it - the GUI window. The app. use this wind. to output log.data, but I don't want see it.
I can't call CreateProcess with SW_HIDE flag because the GUI window will be hidden too.
I tried change size and position of black window, but I still have his button on the System Toolbar. How can I remove it?

Did you try ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_HIDE)? It seems there isn't another way...

Rating isn't important...But gurus respect it and keep high

I actually do it yet and it's OK.
The problem was that I must be call CreateProcess and after then make FindWindow and ShowWindow(..,SW_HIDE), so it doesn't hide the GUI window too.
Thank u for response.

I also have a console window I need to hide. My FindWindow(), ShowWindow code works except on SOME Windows 2000 PCs.

Does ShowWindow(hWnd, WS_HIDE) work for Win2000?

[igbrus]

ShowWindow does work. I guess yours FindWindow doesn't work properly

[Tron]

Thanks Igbrus! You were right the problem was with the FindWindow() not ShowWindow().

Is there a simply way to retrieve the HWND of my console app other than FindWindow()?

[igbrus]

Yes, try EnumThreadWindows

[Tron]

Igbrus you absolutely ROCK!!

That is sweet!

EnumThreadWindows() and GetCurrentThreadId() will work great!

Thanks again!
