    Console Application Minimize VB 2008

    I have built a Module called KMGT Console. Over the past months, I have developed a fast and reliable encryption for user content to be safely stored on the computer. I need this console to power other software. All this console does is encrypt the user content. I would like my applications to use the console in the background or preferably while it is minimized. How can I do this? Is there any code that can force the console to be minimized?

    If the user has the option to minimize it, then why not just let them minimize it manually. Otherwise, you'll have to use ShowWindow API to hide it.

    I just think it would be more convenient if it was minimized first

    Then use the ShowWindow API as directed.
