Embedding possible with autoit?

[Clipper34]

Hey guys, this may sound like a noobish question. But i remember reading a topic about embedding outside applications into an GUI. But is it possible to embed a application into a GUI?. Thanks

See GuiCtrlCreateObj (and _IECreateEmbedded for an example)

If you mean like this then yes.

#include <guiconstants.au3>
#include <constants.au3>

$hGui1 = GUICreate('Parent', 800, 600, 100, 100, BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_SIZEBOX, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN))
$iBtn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("fit", 560, 10, 100, 21, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$hLV1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("lvexample", 410, 50, 300, 300, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
GUISetState()
Run("notepad.exe")
Sleep(4000)
$hw1 = WinGetHandle("Untitled")
WinMove("Untitled", "", 0, 0, 395, 600)
Sleep(300)
$origParent = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", WinGetHandle("Untitled"), "hwnd", WinGetHandle('Parent'))
Sleep(200)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = -3 Then
;set Notepad back To Original parent
        DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $hw1, "hwnd", $origParent[0])
        Exit
    EndIf

    If $msg = $iBtn1 Then WinMove("Untitled", "", 0, 0, 295, 470)
    
WEnd
