[Winston]

Hey guys is it possible to make something a vb form

i mean have a button where u can browse for the .exe (application)

and save that as the default path

and make that program execute and display within that form

yes i mean inside the form

thanks

More than likely, yes. This is just off the top of my head, but you would probably have to subclass the launched application's main window and do all the painting from your vb forms's wndproc handler.

There maybe an easier way, but I don't know of it.

me a noob man

duno this terms slow down lol

hehe... sorry. In win32 programming, there is a thing called a windows procedure(wndproc) that handles messages for a program. If you've programmed win32 in C, you're probably familiar with it. It is a switch statement that processes messages for an app. To subclass something, you need to define a new wndproc to handle certain messages, like WM_PAINT messages. Subclassing in VB is a pain, but it is very powerful.

You can use the SetParent() API function to place the window you've opened into your form.
