    Run an application in mine VB app

    Hi!
    I would like to use an already created game and run it with my own application.. a frame with buttons. Like this..



    Is it possible to run an application within VB? I have tested coding in VB once, it seemed fun, so i thought if this works this would be my first project =)

    Hey,

    Welcome to the Forums!!

    The game that you already have, what was it created in?

    If you mean host an application within your own application - I very much doubt it.

    You can launch from a .Net application, but hosting another application within your own .Net application , certainly in the compact framework is not something I have seen before.

    And even if you could host it, trying to send commands to it would be a nightmare.

    In desktop applications you can spawn a process and set its parent to be your window, and as such "host" it in your application. It would be a separate process, but it would be displayed in your application.
    I'm not sure the APIs are available in windows mobile though.
