从C#启动Excel转到后台

标签: c# windows excel

我有一个.xlsx文件,我希望从C#中在Excel中启动。为此,我将Process.start() API与open动词一起使用。

这很好用,只是Excel窗口会短暂出现,然后隐藏在主应用程序后面。

奇怪地在完全相同的代码段中使用完全相同的API启动PDF(Adoboe Viewer作为默认视图)工作正常,PDF显示最大化并保持不变。这似乎排除了我的应用程序在Excel启动后将自身移回到前面。

有谁知道可能导致这种情况的原因?

编辑:添加代码

    ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(filename);
    startInfo.WindowStyle = windowStyle; // maximized

    startInfo.Verb = "open";
    startInfo.ErrorDialog = false;

    Process.Start(startInfo);

答案 0 :(得分:4)

启动Excel:

Process myProcess = new Process();
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "Excel"; //or similar
myProcess.Start();
IntPtr hWnd = myProcess.Handle;
SetFocus(new HandleRef(null, hWnd));

从user32.dll导入SetFocus函数:

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto,ExactSpelling=true)]
public static extern IntPtr SetFocus(HandleRef hWnd);

将导入放在功能之外。您可能必须睡眠主线程以等待Excel启动。

修改

System.Diagnostics.Process myProcess = new
System.Diagnostics.Process();
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "Excel"; //or similar
myProcess.Start();
myProcess.WaitForInputIdle(2000);
IntPtr hWnd = myProcess.MainWindowHandle;
bool p = SetForegroundWindow(hWnd);
if(!p)
{//could not set focus}

进口:

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto,SetLastError=true)]
public static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto,SetLastError=true)]
public static extern IntPtr SetFocus(IntPtr hWnd);

这将等到应用程序启动后再尝试将焦点设置为它。

我会在Excel窗口中使用SetForeground

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

要获取Excel的句柄,您必须执行以下操作:

Process p = Process.Start(startInfo);
System.IntPtr hWnd = p.Handle;

回答我自己的问题。

原来这是一个DevExpress错误/功能。它是AlertControl的一个东西,当你点击它时会重新聚焦。

DevExpress以通常令人印象深刻的提示方式已经解决了问题。见this item

答案 3 :(得分:1)

使用Excel 2010,我发现Evan Mulawski的解决方案无效。尝试调用.WaitForInputIdle时抛出异常,因为当您打开第二个(或第三个或第三个或第四个)Excel电子表格时,您启动的Excel进程会检测到Excel的第一个实例,告诉它打开文档然后立即关闭。这意味着您的Process对象不再具有调用.WaitForInputIdle的进程。

我用我放在一起的以下助手类解决了它。我没有对Excel以外的应用程序进行过广泛的测试,但它很适合关注Excel,理论上应该可以使用任何“单实例”应用程序。

只需致电ShellHelpers.OpenFileWithFocus("C:\Full\Path\To\file.xls")即可使用它。

感谢Evan Mulawski提出的原始代码概念,我建立在其上:)

作为奖励,我的助手类还有其他一些有用的方法(例如查找特定可执行文件的运行实例,或确定特定文件是否具有关联的应用程序)。

更新:实际上,当你在excel可执行文件上调用Process.Start时,似乎Excel 2010 启动了单独的进程,这意味着我的代码找到了相同的其他实例Excel不需要.exe,永远不会运行。

当我开始使用Evan Mulawski的解决方案时,我在我试图打开的CSV上调用Process.Start,这意味着excel正在维护一个进程(因此导致异常)。

可能运行excel exe(以某种方式弄清楚它在PC上的位置)是Evan在他的回答中提出的建议,我可能会误解。

无论如何,作为额外的好处,运行Excel exe(而不是在CSV或XLS文件上调用Process.Start)意味着您获得单独的Excel实例,这也意味着您将获得单独的Excel windows 并可以将它们放在不同的显示器上或在同一屏幕上并排查看它们。通常当您双击Excel文件(在2013年之前的Excel版本中)时,您最终会在同一个Excel实例/窗口中打开它们并且无法将它们平铺或放在单独的监视器上,因为2013之前的Excel版本仍然是单个文档界面(哎呀!)
