Attributes

dwFlags

A bit field that determines whether certain PySTARTUPINFO attributes are used when the process creates a window. To use many of the additional attributes, you set the appropriate mask in this attribute and also set the attributes themselves.

Any combination of the following values can be specified:

win32process.STARTF_FORCEONFEEDBACK

Indicates that the cursor is in feedback mode for two seconds after CreateProcess() is called. If during those two seconds the process makes the first GUI call, the system gives five more seconds to the process. If during those five seconds the process shows a window, the system gives five more seconds to the process to finish drawing the window.

win32process.STARTF_FORCEOFFFEEDBACK

Indicates that the feedback cursor is forced off while the process is starting. The normal cursor is displayed.

win32process.STARTF_RUNFULLSCREEN

Indicates that the process should be run in full-screen mode, rather than in windowed mode. This flag is valid only for console applications running on an x86 computer.

win32process.STARTF_USECOUNTCHARS

If not specified, the dwXCountChars and dwYCountChars attributes are ignored.

win32process.STARTF_USEFILLATTRIBUTE
