Hide a FileUpload dialog with Watin

Question

I'm using a FileUpload with Watin and IE8 in C#. I don't want see anything on my screen. So, I use

Settings.Instance.MakeNewIeInstanceVisible = false;

and everything is hidden except my FileUpload dialog. This dialog appears on top even the instance of my browser is hidden. Anyone have a suggestion to hide this ?

Thank you !

Maybe this can help (not checked), When you initializing the Browser set this property:

browser.ShowWindow(NativeMethods.WindowShowStyle.ShowMinimized);

I fixed this problem with another function ,you just set Url,save path and all works add this in class

[DllImport("urlmon.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
static extern Int32 URLDownloadToFile(Int32 pCaller, string szURL, string szFileName, Int32 dwReserved, Int32 lpfnCB);

and this function

 int lwhdr = URLDownloadToFile(0, Link, FilePath, 0, 0);
