Solution for hiding the chrome Browser?
Query: Looking to hide the chrome browser as soon as it starts at runtime and then able to navigate through it https://collaborate.pega.com/question/chrome-hide-method-not-working In reference to this article i tried the solution of using a windows adaptor to hide the browser and using Monitor all with Pega extension (for chrome) to do some navigations. Issue is : I don't want to affect any already open browser or any browser that is open after project has started by the user So how do i uniquely identify the browser that i can hide or make changes to

Here is an example. It uses the BrowserForm.Handle property of a page in Chrome to get a reference to the Page's window handle. You can then use a little C# in a script to show/hide the window.
using System; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Diagnostics; using System.IO; using System.Linq; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Xml;
namespace Dynamic.Script_8D87037F2716ED4 { // Script generated by Pega Robot Studio Proprietary information hidden // Please use caution when modifying class name, namespace or attributes [OpenSpan.TypeManagement.DynamicTypeAttribute()] [OpenSpan.Design.ComponentIdentityAttribute("Script-8D87037F2716ED4")] public sealed class Script { private const int SW_HIDE = 0; private const int SW_SHOW = 5; [DllImport("User32")] private static extern int ShowWindow(int hwnd, int nCmdShow);
public void HideWindow(IntPtr windowHandle) { ShowWindow(windowHandle.ToInt32(), SW_HIDE); }

In the Object Explorer window in the upper right corner is an icon that looks like a list. If you hover your cursor over it, you see the text "Explore Component Properties". Clicking this switches to a view of the Properties of the selected control. From here, you can locate the "BrowserForm" property and then access its "Handle" property.
