How to embed an app.

I would like to embed an app, lets say Word within a form, does anyone have an example or pointers on how to do this?

Use the OLE control to embed the MS Word object (or specific word file) onto the form. When you apply the control to the form, a wizard will prompt you for the app/file you want to embed to your form.

i tried that. That just shows the icon of the exe

In the "Insert Object" dialog, did you have the "Display as Icon" setting checked? If that doesn't help, try letting it "Create From File" and create a template file for that app. Hope that helps some!

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately the app Im trying to embed does not have an OLE connection(Word was just an example), even though I tried what you told me because the app creates sort of a Telnet session, the product is called SmarTerm, I refer the file from my app, and it shows the icon, when I double click it it runs an instance of the app, but not within my form.

Ill try to find another way, if you or somebody else knows of a way, please let me know.

Thanks.

Alejandro.
