Hide indesign instance (Hide running application)

Aug 7, 2012 4:22 AM

Hi

I am creating indesign instance using this code

 

INDESIGN::_Application oApplication;

oApplication.CreateDispatch(L"InDesign.Application") ==0);

 

Indesign application start successfully.

I want to hide the application means when i create instance then application should not visible

and run in backside.

 

for example

Dim objWord As Word.Application

Dim objDoc As Word.Document

Set objWord = New Word.Application

objWord.Visible = FALSE;

 

There is a Application property visible to set application visible.

i am using indesign.h and indesign.cpp file created from .tlb file of CS5(7.5).

In my .h and .cpp file there is no application visible function or application class property

    The InDesign appliction's visible property is read only. Try to use minimize method like so:

    app.documents[0].layoutWindows[0].minimize(); // this is JS, in VB it will be similar
