embed existing program into AMS

[yss]

Hi,

I have a small calender app that I would like to embed into an ams window so it would appear as a part of the ams program. is this possible in any way? :huh

Thanks

Is the app OLE embeddable? If so, you could possiblly embed it into a Web object. If not then, no, there is no way to accomplish that task that I know of. We do have a calendar plugin available if that helps.

I've played with this idea too. I've been able to "embed" an app by using SetParent. The issue comes if refreshing the windows. It simply gets ugly. lus you need to be sure to kill any enbedded app when your app closed.

It is an honor to have you two reply to my question.
A question though, what is “SetParent” – I searched through the help file but did not find anything.

Thanks

It is a function in the User32.DLL that sets a window as the parent of another.

Here's a link to a sample app I did using it.
