Yes.

I was wondering whether - given a windows application which has a
MainForm, for instance "Form1" - assuming that a function only knows
the process p, it would be possible to find the main form.
something like:

Function FindMainFormFromProcess(p System.DiagnosticProcess) as
Control
'... ?
end function

A Process object is more related to the unmanaged process. Maybe you are
looking for "Remoting": (but don't ask me anything about it; I know
nothing ;-)

I have to ask you what the purpose of this is? Also is the process you
are looking for a program you designed or one that a third party
created?

Thanks,

For now I am planning to use within "a program I designed", but, of
course,
it also would be nice to know the general answer, which, I guess,
could be quite complicate.

In other words, is it possible, given only the handle of a process to
get the MainForm?

You can't get a winforms Form object representing a window in another
process and do something useful with it, if that's what you're asking.
You can get the window handle, but that's about it.
