how do I execute an application as a child form in an MDI application?

Jan 18 2008 4:42 AM

subject pretty much sums it up. I have an MDI parent form with a static toolbar to pass commands to child forms. want to be able to have a list of applications on the toolbar so user just has to click the application and have it open as a child window of the parent form. 

I am seeing how to open regular child forms, but I want to open an application (such as a command prompt window) as a child form instead.

 

update:  I've been told that what I'm wanting isn't possible as it can't execute another application within the same memory space. closing thread
