CreateProcess()

I need some help with the CreateProcess() function. Currently I am using

WinExec("pbrush.exe", SW_SHOW);

to open another application but I was told I should be using

CreateProcess( ??????);

What arguments are used in this function?

Thx in advance.

Something like -

Code:

---

        STARTUPINFO si={0};
        si.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
        PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = {0};
       
        if(!CreateProcess(NULL,"notepad.exe",0,0,FALSE,0,0,0,&si,&pi))
                cout << "Unable to start process\n";

---

I would like to use CreateProcess to start an app and minimise or maximise or hide it but I just can't get it to work.
As a test, I set up the STARTUPINFO structure with the following lines;

STARTUPINFO suInfo;
PROCESS_INFORMATION procInfo;
CString m_Process = "C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.EXE";
char *vip = "C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.EXE";
memset(&suInfo, 0, sizeof(suInfo));
suInfo.cb = sizeof(suInfo);
suInfo.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
suInfo.wShowWindow = SW_MINIMIZE;

And then on the press of a key, I called the CreateProcess thus;
CreateProcess(m_Process,vip,NULL,NULL,FALSE,NORMAL _PRIORITY_CLASS,NULL,NULL,&suInfo,&procInfo);

I thought this code would start notepad minimised but it starts as a normal window... any ideas on what is wrong?
