Maybe you can if you go deep in the Windows API, Hijack the Windows handle of whatever you want to show in the panel and tell that window that it has a parent window...<br />
<br />
But the API HELL that you'll have to go through would be enormous and I would not even know where to start...<br />
<br />
But perhaps there's another option, by capturing the output of that application and displaying it in your panel. If you continuously update this image and pass events back to the other application, you might get something to work...

Is it possible to run other applications in a Delphi component?
