@unknown - then I suggest you clarify the question; it *sounds* like you are talking about the IDE...

i had run the following code but how to do the same thing for another exe application not the part of the inbuilt OS app. like notepad. Process p = Process.Start("notepad.exe"); p.WaitForInputIdle(); SetParent(p.MainWindowHandle, panel1.Handle); MoveWindow(p.MainWindowHandle, 0, 0, panel1.Width, panel1.Height, false); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent); [DllImport("user32.dll")] private static extern bool MoveWindow(IntPtr hwnd, int x, int y, int w, int h, bool repaint);

@unknown - where does the code you have break down? In general, though, this approach is *going* to be hard. Much easier to host (for example) an ActiveX control.

These two articles in codeproject will be the answer to your question.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/AppControl.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/WindowTabifier.aspx
The first article is more basic and probably the best place to start. The 2nd is more advance and show how you can most multiple application exes in your code. I just come across it as well and I think it is awesome!
