PipeExec Configuration

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

PipeExec Configuration Settings

ProcessStartupFlags:   Specifies the flags used when starting the process in Windows.

This setting specifies the Windows defined flags used when creating the process. The default value is 0x00000101 which includes the STARTF_USESTDHANDLES and STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW flags.

This may be set to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:

0x00000040STARTF_FORCEONFEEDBACK
0x00000080STARTF_FORCEOFFFEEDBACK
0x00002000STARTF_PREVENTPINNING
0x00000020STARTF_RUNFULLSCREEN
0x00001000STARTF_TITLEISAPPID
0x00000800STARTF_TITLEISLINKNAME
0x00000008STARTF_USECOUNTCHARS
0x00000010STARTF_USEFILLATTRIBUTE
0x00000200STARTF_USEHOTKEY
0x00000004STARTF_USEPOSITION
0x00000001 (default)STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
0x00000002STARTF_USESIZE
0x00000100 (default)STARTF_USESTDHANDLES

ProcessWindowStyle:   Specifies the window style when STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW is specified.

When ProcessStartupFlags is set to include the STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW flag this setting specifies the window style that is used. The default value is 0 (SW_HIDE). Possible values are:

0 (default)SW_HIDE
1SW_SHOWNORMAL
2SW_SHOWMINIMIZED
3SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
4SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE
5SW_SHOW
6SW_MINIMIZE
7SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
8SW_SHOWNA
9SW_RESTORE
10SW_SHOWDEFAULT
11SW_FORCEMINIMIZE

Base Configuration Settings

GUIAvailable:   Tells the component whether or not a message loop is available for processing events.

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The component will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.

In some non-GUI applications an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GuiAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.

UseBackgroundThread:   Whether threads created by the component are background threads.

If set to True, when the component creates a thread the thread's IsBackground property will be explicitly set to True. By default this setting is False.

UseManagedSecurityAPI:   Tells the component whether or not to use the system security libraries or a managed implementation.

By default the component will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. This means calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation set this setting to True. Setting this to True tells the component to use the internal managed implementation instead of using the system's security API.

Note that when this value is set the product's system dll is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in this file.
