SetParent

[WadeD]

Hi, I'm using SetParent to capture an app's window (App A) into another app's window (App B). I later want to release App A so another application can capture it, but when I use SetParent again from another app, App A won't leave. I even tried to force the desktop window to become its new parent (by using vbNull as the parent argument in SetParent) and that doesn't work either. What can I do??

Thanks.

This should work just fine:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim lHwnd As Long
    Dim lDesktop As Long
    Dim lSomeOtherApp As Long
    
    lDesktop = GetDesktopWindow
    
    'Here I'm assuming that you already have a
    'window handle of that form and a window handle
    'of the application you want to assign your form to
    
    Call SetParent(lHwnd, lSomeOtherApp)
    
    
    'Do your stuff here
    
    'Now set your form to be a child to a desktop again
    Call SetParent(lHwnd, lDesktop)
End Sub

And here's the fast way

Setparent yourwnd&, 0
