Running the program with out GUI

Question

I have a requirement in my project that I have to run external program with out GUI even if external program has GUI(like notepad.exe).This is possible in .NET. But my program is in java. I found out that java does not have this facility.

Please let me know is there any program like hstart(which only hides the console not GUI) which hides the GUI if program is given as parameter(Ex: [hstart] notepad.exe).

If you know how to do that in .NET write a little program for this yourself and call it from your java app.

Same idea as previous answer, but you can call through a vbs script. For example, you have "run_and_hide.vbs"


Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return=WshShell.Run(Wscript.Arguments(0),0,false)

Then execute the script from java code and pass the target program in the first argument:


Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start run_and_hide.vbs " + "\"notepad\"");
