Here is one way to do it. I used to use this to pop up VFP data entry forms within VB and C++ apps so they could do some databased work with a real database tool.


*-- Down and dirty window parent setting

*-- Launch the VB app with ShellExecute or CreateObject, etc.

*-- Declare the API functions
DECLARE integer FindWindow IN WIN32API STRING, STRING
DECLARE INTEGER SetParent IN WIN32API integer, integer

*-- Get the window handle of a running application.
*-- FindWindow() is a quick way if you know the window title.
*-- It has to be the exact title of the window.
*-- EXAMPLE -> hWord = FindWindow(0,"MyDoc.doc - Microsoft Word")
hWord = FindWindow(0,"MyVB Apps Window")

*-- Call SetParent() with the window handle of the window to move and the
*-- parent window, in this example, VFP itself.
SetParent(hWord, _vfp.hWnd)
