Hi. Beeing googeling for many hours now trying to find some answers, but with no luck. What i want to do is to put an image or a button on another application. Is this even possible? What i want to do is to read information from other applications tedits and such with a program that is hidden, so far so good, done this by using mousehooks and window messages. At this point i have defined by x and y cordinates where to click on the app to present the data, but it would be more nice to have a button or an image to click. Does anyone get what i mean? ;) Beeing fairly new to delphi and all. Please help if possible.

Regards.
 
take a look at the windows setparent function.
with this function you can put another's application mainwindow onto a panel (or other container obbject) in your application.
