Inheritable Handles

[Michael Iben]

does System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() set inherit handles to true? Or
does the VB program need to use the CreateProcess() API instead?

 

[Chris Dunaway]

Looking at the code the System.Process.Start, the following lines are
present:

Try
Finally
flag1 = NativeMethods.CreateProcess(Nothing, builder1, Nothing,
Nothing, True, num2, ptr1, text1, startupinfo1, process_information1)
If Not flag1 Then
num1 = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error
End If

Notice that the 5th parameter to CreateProcess is True, which I believe
is the boolean that tells it to inherit handles.
