Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = processName;
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized;
process.Start();
process.OutputDataReceived += OnDataReciever;
process.BeginOutputReadLine();

I'm not a mind reader. Nothing in your question talks about the console's window title. This is a surprising requirement, too, as it's not generally useful. — IInspectable, Aug 20 '16 at 20:32

As I understand your problem the child process is a console app, based on your comment to the question. In which case set

process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;   
process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

before starting the process. Discussion of the various options can be found here: .NET - WindowStyle = hidden vs. CreateNoWindow = true?

yeap i will can do it, but me need access to window title, but with now window style, it's impossible, or have any way's for it? (noWindow+ a lot of WinApi for get title text) – Alex Aug 20 '16 at 20:03
Not according to the question that was asked. If you want to ask about window styles that's something else altogether. I just answered the question that was asked. – David Heffernan Aug 21 '16 at 07:21
