Hello,

I have a list of files displayed in a listbox.
when I select a file from the listbox i want the file to load into a panel on my form.
i.e. if its a word document word will open in the panel, if its a pdf reader wil open into the panel.

I can get the files to load externally using
Code:
Dim ProcStart As New ProcessStartInfo
ProcStart.FileName = ListBox1.SelectedItem
Process.Start(ProcStart)
however i am unsure of how to get it to then dock in my panel. I tried
Code:
Me.Panel1.Controls.Add(ProcStart)
but this is obviously wrong as I can't add a process as a control.

Do i need to create an instance of the program (i.e. word) and then dock that?

thanks for looking!
