Run Exe program within another Exe (window) program in vb6

Hello!
      I need to run an application (exe) within another application. To be more specific, i think a saw a long time ago a vb6 project that could launch another application, and run that application prisoner in it's own window..... That application couldn't be dragged outside the launching application window.
    I think that might be an API function... or something.
   Do yoy have any informations?
   
   Thank you!

     It seems that SetParent API function is the only way in vb6.
     What about VB.Net?    What options do i have?
