Hide the cmd window using createprocess function

[raj1576]

I want to Hide the my command window using createprocess i m using this like but not able to hide PROCESS_INFORMATION pInfo; STARTUPINFOA sInfo; DWORD exitCode; sInfo.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFOA); sInfo.lpReserved = NULL; sInfo.lpReserved2 = NULL; sInfo.cbReserved2 = 0; sInfo.lpDesktop = NULL; sInfo.lpTitle = NULL; sInfo.dwFlags = 0; sInfo.dwX = 0; sInfo.dwY = 0; sInfo.dwFillAttribute = 0; sInfo.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE; memset (&sInfo, 0, sizeof(sInfo)); sInfo.cb = sizeof(sInfo); bool type = CreateProcess(NULL, cmdpath, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &sInfo, &pInfo);

I'm a little rusty, but doesn't that memset completely clear the STARTUPINFOA structure?

now i remove //memset (&sInfo, 0, sizeof(sInfo)); // sInfo.cb = sizeof(sInfo); but it is not also work........

Is this your command window or cmd if its cmd you can use of cmd/h.

It is not cmd window this is my copymovie.exe which i run through createprocess in my mfc application

Of course you have a way you can use of FindWindow for get hwnd to your window and then use of **::**ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_HIDE);

You are shure that the windows isnt opened from the cmdpath?

Why have you commented out the line which holds the size of sInfo?

Your problem is in the Flags: sInfo.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;

		PROCESS\_INFORMATION pInfo;
		STARTUPINFOA sInfo;
		sInfo.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFOA);
		sInfo.lpReserved = NULL;
		sInfo.lpReserved2 = NULL;
		sInfo.cbReserved2 = 0;
		sInfo.lpDesktop = NULL;
		sInfo.lpTitle = NULL;
		sInfo.dwFlags = STARTF\_USESHOWWINDOW;
		sInfo.dwX = 0;
		sInfo.dwY = 0;
		sInfo.dwFillAttribute = 0;
		sInfo.wShowWindow = SW\_HIDE;

		BOOL ret = ::CreateProcess(m\_PathToExe, lpExePlusArgs, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &sInfo, &pInfo);

		if(ret)
		{
			// Wait until application has terminated
			WaitForSingleObject(pInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);

			// Close process and thread handles
			::CloseHandle(pInfo.hThread);
			::CloseHandle(pInfo.hProcess);
		}

Read MSDN carefully and with patience.
