Hi DMCLab,<br />
<br />
Not effectively, you can use the SetParent api call if you can determine the hWnd of the other application's window. However it will not be a VB MDI Child window and you therefore would also have to handle the positioning of the window within the mdi form and any change in position or size of the other application window. <br />
<br />
In essence it can be done to some extent but it does require a fair amount of work on your part, you cannot simply add it as a new mdi child unfortunately.<br />

Is it possible to run the GUI of another exe file in a MDI Child window?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
