Open url in new IE window and not maximized?

Question

We have a Windows Form that needs to open a browser window with a specific url. I use something like this to open the browser:

Process.Start("IExplore.exe", "http://example.com");

It works great since it opens a new browser window instead of just a tab. The issue now is that the browser window always opens in maximized form, so the app is not displayed anymore.

Is it possible to open IE so that it doesn't show as being maximized? That way, the user can see both the browser and the app.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think you have to use something like:

void OpenWithStartInfo()
{
    ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("IExplore.exe");
    startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized;

    startInfo.Arguments = "www.northwindtraders.com";

    Process.Start(startInfo);
}

Answer 2

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("IExplore.exe");
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized;

Process.Start(startInfo);
