Start a process in minimized state
« on: June 02, 2020, 08:38:36 AM »
I have the code below to start a process in minimized state. It does work
Code: [Select]
            Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo("notepad")
            psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized
            Process.Start(psi)

I want to combine them into one line, it start the process but not in minimized state. how do I fix this? TIA

Code: [Select]
Process.Start("notepad").StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized

Code: [Select]
  Process.Start(New ProcessStartInfo("notepad") With {.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized})
