Opening an instance of MS Word in a MDI form?

[blakemckenna]

Is it possible to open an instance of MS Word within a MDI Form and if so how is it done?

Thanks,

Blake

See the SetParent API...

I see what the API does but I'm not sure what parameters I would pass to it. I wish to open an instance of the Word App. Do I put that in another MDI Child form and pass that form name as a parameter or what?

You would pass the window handle of Word and your desired forms handle.
You will also need to use SetWindowPos in order to position it in the correct coordinates of 0, 0 in the new child window.

Ps, did I answer a thread of your like this already?
