[Mono-dev] Mono.Addins suppress console window showing

[Vladimir Dimitrov]

Hello guys,

 

Recently I started using Mono.Addins in my application and it looks very
good. But as the application is primary used under windows (should be
working fine under Linux too) I get an annoying console window showing when
I run:

 

      AddinManager.Initialize ();

 

And then another one when I run:

 

      AddinManager.Registry.Rebuild (null);

 

I noticed in the code that at some point the .dll executes itself in a
separate process ??!?! So if we add the following line:

 

process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

 

to the file Mono.Addins/Mono.Addins/Database/SetupProcess.cs this would
suppress the window to show under Window and should not cause any other
complications.

Please let me know what you think.

 

Best regards,

 Vladimir Dimitrov

 

P.S. I tried compiling my own copy with the change but it didn't worked
because when the process was trying to execute the .dll I compiled an
exception was throws saying this is not a valid windows app. Maybe I need to
compile it to .exe and just rename it?
