Open AI in c# in hidden mode

How can I open adobe illustrator in hidden mode directly from the c# code? Now when I create the new application object with
Illustrator.Application illuApp = new Illustrator.Application();
on the screen appears the window application. I can't change the visible attribute because it's read only and the application constructor hasn't overload method to specify how to open the application.
Thanks.

Hi Bernd
Thanks for your quick response :o)
Could you provide some more information on how this is done as I do not have Acrobat and would need to pass this to the designer who compiled it?
Many Thanks

  • Safari Opening by Itself (in hidden mode)

    Out of the blue, while working on various projects, Safari will open in hidden mode, which flips me to the desktop it is assigned to. It is not in the login items and the Lion option to restore windows when quitting/reopening apps is turned off. I have tried clearing Safari's cache and resetting to no avail. Any advise you can give to remedy this is much appreciated.

    Try deleting the cache associated with Safari. Sometimes this does a better job then emptying the cache from the Safari GUI.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db. Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.

  • Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?

    Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
    Now it opens in the screen mode the InDesign page is in when checked in. We don't want that.
    Thanks,
    Frederik

    No, there's no way to get rid of it in InCopy.  InCopy opens layouts in the mode the InDesign user saved them, including Normal vs. Preview, Frame edges showing or not, Hidden characters showing or not, and so on.
    You could try asking the designers to switch to Normal view before saving the INDD file.  Or you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the Normal view in InCopy and tell everyone to use that. We're on Macs so we use Control-N for Normal and Control-Shift-N for Preview.

  • Starting an app in hidden mode?

    Hi!
    I have several apps that are set to launch on login, and that I wish to have running in the background. I normally have to hit CMD-H to hide each window in turn.
    Is there a way to have an application launch directly into hidden mode, preferably without even the window flickering on screen before hiding?
    Thanks!

    Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, click on your account, find the list of login items, and check the Hide box for each of them. Due to an OS bug, some application can't be hidden through this method, but can be by adding the following AppleScript to the list:
    delay 1
    tell app "System Events"
    set visible of process "app name" to false
    end tell
    The Script Editor is in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder. Save the script as an application.

  • Applescript: how to launch an app in hidden mode?

    Hi,
    I have setup an applescript with the command :
    tell application "Finder"
    open application file "iBackup.app" of folder "Applications" of startup disk

    But I would like to launch iBackup in hidden mode, I do not want to see the main iBackup window.
    Any way to do this?

    i am programmatically open a word file for search and highlight keyword. my routine is working fine. the problem is when i am opening the file programmatically then a dialog come and ask me to open file in read only mode. the dialog look like below one
    actually i do not want to open the file in read only mode because people can open and like to change and save. so guide me what i can do to not to open the file in read only mode.

                    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

    I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
    The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
    Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again.

  • I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

    I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
    However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

    This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

  • Why when I open my Foscam camera, in Activex mode, I get no picture, and I click on Manage at bottom, but ger javascript:adminstrator0. Why

    My Foscam FI8910W, opens after sign in, with three modes to choose from. Only the ActiveX mode, in IE, works to allow recordings to be made. Sometime back, just after I bought this new laptop, a free AT&T program with McAfee, is available for AT&T users. But this app, can only be loaded into Internet Explorer, and something wrong with IE, prevented it from happening. I contacted AT&T Tech support, allowed the tech onto my machine, and even he could not solve it. He then opened Firefox I already had, and installed some program, that made Firefox actually act like IE, so that McAfee software, could be downloaded and installed. It worked, using Firefox to replace IE, to download and install, but the print spooler on my pc, went bad, and would not work to use my printer. Dell tech also took control of the pc, found a complete Windows 7 reinstall was needed, and he did so. Now, the print spooler works, but the fresh install, did away with the software the AT&T Tech added to Firefox.
    IE is a pain, but we need it, for some sites, like for the Activex mode, with my camera. I tried pening it in Firefox, in the ActiveX mode, and it opens, but with no picture. When I click on Device Management, to go to settings, I can't. What I get, is a small pop up balloon on lower right, that says 'javascript:administrator0'. Thinking maybe Javascript was disabled, I checked in options, and it is not, it's checked, thus enabled. I am on my pc, as administrator, so now I am stuck. Is there someone who can explain how to make it work, so I can use my camera in ActiveX mode, so I can actually record tings, if need be, when I leave? Thanks in advance. Oh, My Win 7, has the 64 bit OS, not the 32 if that helps.

    Thanks for that reply. I know ActiveX is only used on Internet Explorer. But as I previously stated, the AT&T Tech who helped me download McAfee, that their website only allows downloads with Internet Explorer, and for some reason, IE wasn't working right, so McAfee was not available, but the Tech got control of my pc, installed some sort of software program, onto Firefox, that gave Firefox the same options, as IE has. When that was done, I was able to download and install McAfee, using Firefox, instead of using IE. Since then, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 OS on my pc, so IE now works, but is still a bother using it to RECORD from the Foscam camera. Internet Explorer, is the ONLY BROWSER, that Foscam RECORDS ON, using the ActiveX mode. I can view things with the camera, in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and such, using another choice, the USER PUSH MODE, but that and the other choice, Mobile Phone, will ONLY let you watch or monitor what is being shown, but you CAN NOT RECORD, if it's not in ActiveX mode, using IE. I hoped, that whatever the technician used and installed on my pc, to fool the web into allowing something to be installed, by FIREFOX, and not by Internet Explorer as it was set up to do, would also allow Firefox to ACT like IE again, and allow the ActiveX mode, to work in Firefox. Really, what I am looking for, is probably a patch, that adds IE abilities and runs like IE, to maybe get the ActiveX aspect, to use in Firefox. Maybe I am asking a lot, but I know Firefox worked as if it was IE, to fool the site into allowing it to 'THINK' Firefox, was really Internet Explorer. As for asking Foscam for technical support, I did, and not only did the foreigner get access to my computer, made changes, the changes he made, I had to uninstall, and reinstall the Foscam camera. Outsourcing tech support, doesn't help me much, when it's with someone, that ENGLISH, is not their native language. If I can't understand someone speaking to me, isn't very good in trying to get help. Again, thanks for your reply.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar can be installed as part of Foxit.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Is there a way to open photoshop cs6 in 32-bit mode on a windows 7 64-bit system.

    I was wondering if there is a way to open photoshop cs6 in 32-bit mode on a windows 7 64-bit system, because photoshop won't recognize the pen pressure on my graphics tablet (yiynova msp19u) I read that some users got it to work in 32-bit mode on macs, and all my other programs like zBrush, art rage, sketch book pro recognize the pen pressure on the tablet.

    well I am going to assume that the application marked photoshop is the 32-bit application, since the other on is marked 64-bit and I don't see one 32-bit. in any case it still not recognizing pen pressure and i have the newest drivers. The only thing I can think of now is that wacom drivers are interfering with it some how since they don't get along, although I was pretty sure i got rid of all wacom software.
    Sigh, it's starting to look like I have to format my computer

  • Firefox auto-updated to 3.6.9 last night and now it crashes every time I open the browser, even in safe mode.

    Firefox auto-updated to 3.6.9 last night and now it crashes every time I open the browser, even in safe mode.

    Hi there,
    You could try performing a clean installation: [[Knowledge Base Article]] :
    Some Firefox issues can be resolved by downloading a new Firefox installer from Mozilla.com, then closing Firefox, deleting the Firefox application folder (program files) and reinstalling Firefox. If this does not help, or if you would rather completely remove Firefox and start over instead of completing all the troubleshooting steps, follow these steps:
    1. Download the latest official version of Firefox from Mozilla.com.
    * You should avoid unofficial download sites that bundle Firefox with other software such as the Google Toolbar.
    2. If you wish to retain your current profile, you should make a backup copy of it. See Backing up your information for instructions.
    3. Uninstall Firefox and make sure you remove the Firefox application (program) folder and your Firefox personal data (user data and settings) - see Uninstalling Firefox for instructions.
    4. Reinstall Firefox - see Installing Firefox for instructions.
    5. When Firefox is started for the first time, the Import Wizard will appear and a new profile will be created.
    6. Verify that the issue no longer appears.
    7. If you made a backup of your old profile and wish to restore your old information, see Recovering important data from an old profile. For troubleshooting purposes, only copy the files corresponding to your bookmarks and saved passwords.
    8. Reinstall your extensions and themes one by one to determine if any specific one is causing the issue.

  • Open a document in read only mode

    HI All,
    I created a panel in which we have
    edit box which shows the document path
    Browse button to allow a user to select an indesign document
    "Open read only" button.
    My requirement is that after selecting an Indesign document if user click to "OPen read only" button then it will opened selected document in read only mode.
    I will be highly thankfull to all community memeber if anyone can give me some hint to achieve this.
    Regards,
    Alam

    Alam,
    If you change the attributes of the file before opening it to read only the file will be opened as read only by Indesign. And then you could place a responder that could clear this read only flag when the file is being closed so that the permissions are restored to the original state.
