Hello Sheikko,

What does it mean? MDI style or what?

Yes,
I have a parent child and want to call in it not a form, but an entire
application, like notepad, word..ecc.

I have solved the problem of process...I have used the HardwareButtons
(solution found in the visual help), at this scope I have included the
WindowsCe.Forms.dll to my project even if it for pocket PC.
I think is a bug of visual developper that filter this dll and it don't
let you to use it.

Thank you if you can help me.

So call the app in the bounds of form?! Don't think it's even possible. What
are u going to do? Maybe there is another alternative solution for it, if
u describe what u wanna do

Hello Sheikko,

It's a kind of hack, redirecting the process' window handler on your form one
Use SetParent and ShowWindow WinAPI methods

Hi,
I have tried the code example in the link you have provided, but he
doesn't work. The notepad process is creadte, but like a separated
program.

Here there is my code:

=================
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace chilTest01
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern int SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr
hWndNewParent);
[DllImport("User32")]
private static extern int ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int
nCmdShow);

private const int SW_MAXIMIZE = 3;
Process p = new Process();

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}


/**
* this code call a form like a child.
*/
private void newToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender,
EventArgs e)
{
Form2 newMDIChild = new Form2();
// Set the Parent Form of the Child window.
newMDIChild.MdiParent = this;
// Display the new form.
newMDIChild.Show();
}

private void processToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender,
EventArgs e)
{
// start your application
p.StartInfo.FileName = "NOTEPAD.EXE";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
p.Start();


// change parent window and maximize inside the form
//SetParent(p.MainWindowHandle, this.Handle);
//ShowWindow(p.MainWindowHandle, SW_MAXIMIZE);
}
}
}

=================
