    Putting a 3rd Party Program inside a MDI Parent?

    Is it possible to put a "3rd party program" (an already compiled EXE thats added as a resource), into a MDI Parent form?

    Or alternatively... yes it is.

    Check this out.

    That covers the hard bit anyway - launching an external app and "hosting" it within your own form. Embedding executables as resources is a different question - entirely possible, not necessarily ethical or legal though.
