Application Within An Application

[UncleT]

Hello,

I have been assigned a task of developing an application that will be a container for other applications. For example: The primary application will be like a MDI form that only has Menu Items and maybe a toolbar. Say one of the toolbar icons is an Inventory Icon. When the user clicks on the icon the Inventory application opens up within the Primary application. If the Primary application is minimized all applications opened within it will also be minimized. The inventory application will also be like a MDI form in which a main form is opened and Child forms are opened within it. Can anyone tell me if this is possible to do and if so can someone give me some guidance on how to do it.

Thanks in advance,

UncleT

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can have a small exe that will be used to just call various dll files (activeX dll projects). Each application can be its own dll with forms and code. The controling exe will end up being very small.

However I don't know if this can be done with MDI forms.

Take Care,
