I posted this message to adobe.illustrator.windows but no reply has
come until now, so I've decided to try here. If it is not a good
place, then my appologies.

that's my problem:


for last few days i've been trying to do what i want to do using adobe
scripting in vb6. But i can't.
First problem is I'd like the .ai document to be invisible, hidden,
minimized, extra-small, whatever, so that it doesn't appear on top of
all applications on my screen. It doesn't even have a parent window!
So the user cannot minimize it at all! Does anybody know how is it to
be achived? (it is not "must-be", it is "very-nice-to-have")

Second problem is, that in my vb code i've got to invoke a method
DoScript of an Illustrator.Application object. My action takes some
time, so I've got to wait, until adobe's finished its job. Is there
any communication possibility to get the information that adobe
illustrator is not busy?

any help is welcome

thanks in advance
