hi
yes .. it could be done through the proccess class and here is a general
idea; you will use the process of the System.Diagnostic namespace. Start
the notepad, hide you process, form one, pass a handler (IntP) of your
process to the other new one notepad (you do that through API calls). Once
done working with process two, you will do another API call (using the
handler that you hold) to reshow your other process.
