Embedding secondary application within a WinForm

I was wondering how I could execute/embed a simple 3rd party
application within a control on a Windows Form? Is this even possible?

The 3rd party would be an unmanaged application. The windows form will
only
serve as a sort of frame to hold/display this application/process.
Communication between the application and the windows form is not
necessary.
The windows form merely needs to 'host' the application and allow it
to execute on its own.

For example, if I had a Tab Control with two tabs on a Win Form. On
Tab 1 I would have some really cool manged code. On Tab 2, I wanted to
display the old MS Calculator program. I don't care about
communicating with the calc program, I only want it available and
executable within Tab 2 control.

Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance.
Mark.
