system calculator

[Joe]

Can someone tell me how to call the system calculator in
windows XP, I am programming with VB.Net. I am writing a
program and I would like to let the user have access to
the calculator in windows. The user should be able to use
it in the GUI that I present them.

Thanks,
Joe

Hello Joe!

Dim X As Integer
X = Shell("Calc.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
Of course, if you want the calculator to show up in inside your program,
you'll need its handle and use the SetParent API..
