Yes,
I have a parent child and want to call in it not a form, but an entire
application, like notepad, word..ecc.

I have solved the problem of process...I have used the HardwareButtons
(solution found in the visual help), at this scope I have included the
WindowsCe.Forms .dll to my project even if it for pocket PC.
I think is a bug of visual developper that filter this dll and it don't
let you to use it.

Thank you if you can help me.

Hello Sheikko,

SYes,
SI have a parent child and want to call in it not a form, but an
Sentire
Sapplication, like notepad, word..ecc.

So call the app in the bounds of form?! Don't think it's even possible. What
are u going to do? Maybe there is another alternative solution for it, if
u describe what u wanna do

SI have solved the problem of process...I have used the
SHardwareButton s
S(solution found in the visual help), at this scope I have included
Sthe
SWindowsCe.Form s.dll to my project even if it for pocket PC.

All CE questions are more appropriate for the compactframewor k group, not
this one

Hello Sheikko,

It's a kind of hack, redirecting the process' window handler on your form one
Use SetParent and ShowWindow WinAPI methods

Spostd it here in (microsoft.publ ic.dotnet.langu ages.csharp).

Hi,
I have tried the code example in the link you have provided, but he
doesn't work. The notepad process is creadte, but like a separated
program.

Here there is my code:

=============== ==
using System;
using System.Collecti ons.Generic;
using System.Componen tModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows. Forms;
using System.Diagnost ics;
using System.Runtime. InteropServices ;

namespace chilTest01
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
[DllImport("user 32.dll")]
private static extern int SetParent(IntPt r hWndChild, IntPtr
hWndNewParent);
[DllImport("User 32")]
private static extern int ShowWindow(IntP tr hWnd, int
nCmdShow);

private const int SW_MAXIMIZE = 3;
Process p = new Process();

public Form1()
{
InitializeCompo nent();
}
/**
* this code call a form like a child.
*/
private void newToolStripMen uItem_Click(obj ect sender,
EventArgs e)
{
Form2 newMDIChild = new Form2();
// Set the Parent Form of the Child window.
newMDIChild.Mdi Parent = this;
// Display the new form.
newMDIChild.Sho w();
}

private void processToolStri pMenuItem_Click (object sender,
EventArgs e)
{
// start your application
p.StartInfo.Fil eName = "NOTEPAD.EX E";
p.StartInfo.Use ShellExecute = true;
p.Start();
// change parent window and maximize inside the form
//SetParent(p.Mai nWindowHandle, this.Handle);
//ShowWindow(p.Ma inWindowHandle, SW_MAXIMIZE);
}
}
}

=============== ==
