Not sure why you use Win32Process (I' am sure you have your reasons), but I have scripts that launch child processes and wait for them to terminate. I just use the backticks(``) rather than a "system" command. The script will just hang until the child is done.
For the other thing about minimizing/hiding the console window, Win32::GUI can do this: use Win32::GUI; my $perlwin = Win32::GUI::GetPerlWindow(); Win32::GUI::Show( $perlwin, 0 ); # SW_HIDE Win32::GUI::Show( $perlwin, 1 ); # SW_SHOWNORMAL Win32::GUI::Show( $perlwin, 5 ); # SW_SHOW Win32::GUI::Show( $perlwin, 6 ); # SW_MINIMIZE -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Ellery Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 3:24 PM To: 'perl-win32-users' Subject: Win32::Process::Create ..I use this function pretty regularly to spawn procs on windows, but I've often wanted to minimize the console or main window that was launched. Does anyone know how to do this? In the corresponding WIN32 API, there is a STARTUPINFO structure that allows this, but looks like it's not part of the Win32::Process API. Advice appreciated. -Mike Ellery _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
