How to open an app in minimzed mode using Python?
To open an application in minimized mode using Python, you can use the subprocess
module to start the application process and then use the win32gui
module to minimize the application window.
Here's an example script that demonstrates how to open Notepad in minimized mode:
pythonimport subprocess
import win32gui
# Start the Notepad process
notepad_process = subprocess.Popen('notepad.exe')
# Get the Notepad window handle
hwnd = win32gui.FindWindow(None, 'Untitled - Notepad')
# Minimize the Notepad window
win32gui.ShowWindow(hwnd, win32gui.SW_MINIMIZE)
In this example, the subprocess
module is used to start the Notepad process, and the win32gui
module is used to get the window handle and minimize the window. The FindWindow
function is used to get the window handle of the Notepad window, and the ShowWindow
function is used to minimize the window.
You can modify this script to open any application in minimized mode by replacing notepad.exe
with the path to the application executable file, and replacing 'Untitled - Notepad'
with the window title of the application. Note that the window title may be different depending on the application you are opening, so you may need to adjust this accordingly.
