How to use more than one verb when starting a process?

Question

Currently I am just printing a doc file using the following code:

System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
p.StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
{
    CreateNoWindow = false,
    Verb = "print",
    FileName = fileName //put the correct path here
};
p.Start();

What can I do so that I can keep the file open after printing or the other way around open the file first and then print it. Can I use more then one verb with a process?

Answer 1

You can't.

Verbs are implemented as complete command lines: each verb corresponds to a full command-line, defined in the registry. Thus, each new verb would start an entirely different process, just happening to (usually) point to the same executable binary with different command-line args.

To control an application in more detail, you would have to resort to the program's automation technique, if there is one.
