Question

I need to run an external exe “embed.exe” under my WPF project,

here’s a snippet

ProcessStartInfo processInf = new ProcessStartInfo("embed.exe");
processInf.Arguments = string.Format(@"Some arguments");
processInf.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process run = Process.Start(processInf);

my problem is that it’s block my UI,

is there a way to include embed.exe using a thread or any code that won’t block the UI ?

Answer 1

OK,

Try to put your previous snippet inside a method, then create a new thread and initialize it to that method.

here’s how to make it
//hone code

private void EmbedMethod()
{
ProcessStartInfo processInf = new ProcessStartInfo("embed.exe");
processInf.Arguments = string.Format(@"Some arguments");
processInf.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process run = Process.Start(processInf);
}

Thread embedThread=new Thread(EmbedMethod);
embedThread.start();
