uncapture a window

[Chinese Leper]

i captured a window with setparent into my mdi form. How do i uncapture this window (e.g. remove this window from my mdi form without closing it)?

Use SetParent to 'give' it to another form. You can create a small
.Visible = False form to hold it while you don't want to use it. OR you can park it somewhere else.

the thing is, my program is suppose to capture a a program on startup (i got that part) and uncapture it at end.
So what parent should i set the program to?

Destroy the Window in your Form Unload event

Private Declare Function DestroyWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function IsWindowEnabled Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function MoveWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal nWidth As Long, ByVal nHeight As Long, ByVal bRepaint As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 2001
    'URL: [url]http://www.allapi.net/[/url]
    'E-Mail: [email][email protected][/email]
    Dim bl As Boolean
    'Is the window enabled?
    bl = IsWindowEnabled(Me.hwnd)
    MsgBox "Is the form enabled? " + Str$(bl)
    'Move the window
    MoveWindow Me.hwnd, 0, 0, 200, 200, 1
    'Show the window
    Me.Show
    'Wait 5 seconds
    t = Timer
    Do
        'Show the remaining time in the form's caption
        Me.Caption = 5 - Int(Timer - t)
        DoEvents
    Loop Until Timer > t + 5
    'Destroy the window
    DestroyWindow Me.hwnd
End Sub
