Please tell me how you can minimize the software Illustrator. And how can it open minimized. It does not pass, the function is read-only Illustrator.Application.Visible = False

It will open illustrator or if it is open it will minimize it or maximize it. To follow the example, create a form with two buttons, make it TopMost = true

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        'MsgBox("minimize")
        Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo("illustrator.exe")

        startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized
        Process.Start(startInfo)

        startInfo = Nothing
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        'MsgBox("maximize")
        Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo("illustrator.exe")

        startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized
        Process.Start(startInfo)

        startInfo = Nothing
    End Sub
End Class
