_WinAPI_SetParent

[Fabian]

I want to use an app (eg. notepad) in my form (as child). If I use _WinAPI_SetParent and I start the app it looks like this:

If I type something it looks like this:

And if I move the windowa a bit and type again a bit it looks like this:

What can I do that it looks like the third pic from the beginning?

Here's my code:

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 1000, 650, 0, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]")
$Notepad = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Notepad]")
_WinAPI_SetParent($Notepad, $Form1)

_WinAPI_RedrawWindow($hWnd[, $tRect = 0[, $hRegion = 0[, $iFlags = 5]]])?

_WinAPI_RedrawWindow only redraws the client area, not the menus and the border and if I define an update rect it does nothing. Can anybody help?
