exe as child

[7h331337]

is it possible to use a exe as a child in a gui

[NELyon]

_WinAPI_SetParent()

Or call SetParent directly from user32.dll

I'll post an example in a minute.

EDIT:

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>
$hGUI = GUICreate("Test")
Run("notepad.exe")
Sleep(500)
$hGUI2 = DllCall("user32.dll", "hwnd", "SetParent", "hwnd", WinGetHandle("Untitled - Notepad"), "hwnd", $hGUI)
GUISetState()
Do
    Sleep(200)
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3

Works, but I always seem to have trouble with the window not wanting to repaint after it's been set as a child, so you might have to mouse over the menu items to find them, and then the Edit box.
