Embedding a third-party application window into a wxWidgets window

[Sandro Sigala]

Hello to all,

This is a question to all the Win32 API gurus :-)

I'm developing a Win32 wxWidgets application that executes another Win32
third-party application.

I would like to integrate somehow the third-party application into
my own application window. The 3rd-party application is a Win32 GUI standard
app that shows only one window on the screen.

I thought of two possible (?) solutions:
1) Real embedding: reparent the third party window using the Windows API
into my own application window;
2) Fake embedding: force the third party window size and position onto my own
application window and remove the 3rd-party application title bar using the
Windows API.

I'm not an expert and maybe the solution 1) is not possible, but the 2)
I guess it's somehow possible.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Sandro
