How open other app from within code?I have a VB.NET Win app wherein I would like to (via code) open another
application window external to my app's window and set the position and size on the user's screen. I would greatly appreciate any response/help. Thanks, Ron There is nothing in the .NET framework that lets you manipulate forms
that do not belong to your application. You will need to invoke some lower level libraries, do window hooks, etc. I don't actually know how to do this, but I know this is the starting place, and that MANY people have posted similar questions in the groups so just google for it dude.

Specifically the Process class. YOu can use the Process class to start an external application. You can specify other properties using the ProcessStartInfo object. I don't have a code sample but there are plenty out there. YOu would just set the file you want to start and call Process.Start on it. |
