Description | Use the hideConsoleWindows property to run command line applications without the user seeing them. On Windows systems, when you run a command line program with the launch or open process command, a console window appears. If the hideConsoleWindows property is true, the window is not shown. (You can still use the write to process and read from process commands to send data to the program and get data from it.) The setting of this property affects Windows applications with a GUI as well as command line programs.
The setting of this property has no effect on Mac OS or Unix systems. |
