Minimizing Process

[Odiee]

Hi.

I'm using CreateProcess to execute program and obtain it's process ID and handle. Now I want to tell that process to hide it self from screeen, or minimize it self, but it seems win32 doesn't have a functions to do that.
How can I send messages to different process?

Try to use the STARTUPINFO parameter of CreateProcess and fill in dwFlags=STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW and wShowWindow=SW_HIDE

Use:PostMessage(hwnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MAXIMIZE, 0L);
PostMessage(hwnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MINIMIZE, 0L);

CloseWindow(hwnd);
