ok - i will explain:
I want to launch ms word in a way that's totallly hidden from the user. So I call CreateProcess with the SW_HIDE flag in proper place, and indeed Word doesn't show the document window. However it does show the Splash Screen, and I cannot get rid of it. I wuold like to freeze the display the way it is until word is done loading (I can tell that by FindWindowEx)and turn on screen display again
you can control word via com (word automatization). then you have full access to word funcs and you can control its behaviour much better. there you have a flag to hide the window. look at "appObj.SetVisible(FALSE);
here is an example:
http://www.codeguru.com/cp
from that side:
_Application appObj;
if(!appObj.CreateDispatch(
{
AfxMessageBox("Coud Not Create The Application Object");
}
appObj.SetVisible(FALSE);
Documents docsObj(appObj.GetDocument
_Document docObj,tempDocObj;
CFileFind m_FileFind;
m_FoundTheFile = m_FileFind.FindFile(m_Sour
hope it helps,

ok .. i'm trying to go on helping you .. maybe we can find a solution that fits your needs .. however .. you might have to consider to go ways that are the only practical solution .. lets try to put on light on it ..
can you explain why excactly the word-automation is not a solution for you? once you done it the first time, then its quite easy .. this is the way microsift made sure you can have a lot of control on the behaviour of word, controlled by another program .. sorry to repeat me, to me that sounds like that is excactly what you need?
we can help you implement that solution ..
but if not, please explain why you dont want that solution, that would only be fair i think .. :)
