Keep program fullscreen

[defcon2006]

I have a program running full screen and it has to call an external .exe file. The problem I'm running into is that I want the first program to stay full screen while the second one runs in the background. I was wondering if there was a way to do this?

The second program is currently just a console program that calls a sendmessage then quits.

Thanks!

If this is Windows, you can spawn the required console application using CreateProcess() and passing CREATE_NO_WINDOW in the dwCreationFlags parameter.
