MDI question with little answers

Hi I don't even know if this is possible, but I'm trying to open external
programs as children in my MDI form. The basic purpose is so I could open
notepad, calculator, and other apps in one program that I could minimize and
would manage all the programs as children.

Is this possible in windows? if so how?

thanks

THe application has to contain code to support this so it will set itself as
child window of your MDI window. Most apps don't do this.
