Embedding a VB 6 standard EXE application in a .NET forns applicat

[Guest]

I am having an existing VB 6 standard .EXE application. Now I am developing a
wrapper application in .Net and I want to launch and execute the VB 6 exe app
in the .Net App window. That is VB 6 App window inside (embedded) in .Net app
window. How do I go about doing this stuff?

What you mean by embedding?

If you want to reuse it as component, you'd need to make it an
ActiveX/COM component and then use it.

Thats correct.

Exactly I tried doing the same. I converted the standard exe to ActiveX exe
object in VB 6. I created a client VB 6 application (standard exe) for
testing purposes and added a form to it. Added a OLE control to the form and
tried to bind the ActiveX exe object to it. When I invoked the application,
the application is instantiated in a separate window, instead of emdedding in
the control. I need to get the app embedded inside the client application
window. Hope this clears the point.

How do you invoke the activex in winform? I need the actua code.
