    Displaying other proggies

    Is there any way to make a program run in a VB window?

    If you mean to run another exe, use Shell() function, if you mean load another program into VB Window
    itself, you can use DDE / OLE methods to create reference to the corresponding object.

    Good Luck!

    If you can find the 'hwnd' of the program that's running, you can make it appear within a VB form (MDI or otherwise) using the SetParent API (although it does get a bit clunky with form positioning).
