[2005] Make external processes run in the background.

[noahssite]

Hello, say if the user has two notepads open. I want my program to hide the notepads. Not minimize them but actually hide them, they can be viewed in the task manager only under processes but otherwise i want it completly hidden. So my program wil hide notepad when the user clicks a button on my app called Hide Notepad.

I'm sure there's a better way to do it but I remember someone posting something on here fairly recently about setting external windows opacity settings... So if you cant find a better way then you could just set the Notepad window opacity to 0 using that method.. I'm sure it involved using Windows APIs by the way so you might be better off asking in the API forum.
