Is this the sort of thing you want?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$gui=GUICreate("Parent", 800, 300,400,400,-1)

$add2 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Add form',10,30)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$c1=GUICreate("child 1", 140, 180, 100, 100,$WS_OVERLAPPED)
DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", WinGetHandle($c1), "hwnd", WinGetHandle($GUI))   

GUISetState()
$c2 = 0;no 2nd child window yet

do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    if $msg = $add2 then 
        if not $c2 then
         $c2=GUICreate("child 2", 140, 180, 120, 120,$WS_OVERLAPPED)
         DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", WinGetHandle($c2), "hwnd",                               WinGetHandle($GUI)) 
             GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

well, sort of, i thought it was then i edited my post, i guess i could have made the edit more clear

your way lets me do what Holger's code does except with your code i can use multiple GUI's created from AutoIt and get the same affect rather then a process with a window from Run()

First,I thank you.But I have some question about the code.Why not to use $WS_CHILD of GUI Control Styles Appendix ?How to hide the menu bar of the child in your code? Where have a handbook of "user32.dll"? Thank you!
