FaT3oYCG Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) how would i go about getting the display from an external .exe file for example if i have a program like msn how would i get the display from that program and put it on a form i have. is there a function to get the display from an app? the reason i ask is because i want to make what you may call a management app, where i can put all of my usual programs that i run when i start my pc into one form on some tabs, to rgonist it a little better, and it will all be in one place hope this is possible Thanks F@T3oYCG Edited June 17, 2008 by FaT3oYCG Interpreters have great power!Although they live in the shadow of compiled programming languages an interpreter can do anything that a compiled language can do, you just have to code it right.

NELyon Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Take a look at _WinAPI_SetParent, as it will be what you will need to "embed" the application into your GUI. To remove the border, look at _WinaAPI_SetWindowLong() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
