TitleStart another program inside your MDI form

Thanks to David Waddell.

The program starts another application by using the Shell command and then reparents it to live inside the MDI form. This example has a particularly interesting group of helper routines:

  • InstanceToWnd
  • FreeWindowFromMDI
  • MaximizeWindow
  • MinimizeWindow
  • RunWindow
  • ShowMDIMinimized
  • TerminateWindow
