Is there a control to host applications?

[Lekar]

Hi

I need to run Microsot Word, the Calcular and other applications but also I need to put those applications inside my window. In other words my application should host other applications.

I want to know if developing a control to host third party application is very complex or if I can buy a control with the functionality in internet...

Thanks!

MS Office can be run as an Automation server from most languages and you can control pretty much every aspect of Word and Excel if you're willing to dig deep enough. For the calculator you can use SetParent API once the calculator is running and you know the calculator's window handle. For the window handle you can use FindWindow API.
