I am interested in helping with the following steps using the winform application that I am writing to open on the .exe tab in C # in the Visual Studio 2010 IDE.
Currently, I can open the program by clicking the button on the desired tab using the following code:
string str = @"-INSERT FILEPATH HERE-";
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = str;
process.Start();
Now how can I make this executable open as a tab or tab in my winform? I am open to suggestions to do all things.
SOLVE:
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Threading;
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern bool MoveWindow(IntPtr hwnd, int x, int y, int cx, int cy, bool repaint);
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent);
public GUI()
{
InitializeComponent();
openProgram()
}
private void openProgram()
{
process.StartInfo.FileName = "-filepathhere-";
process.Start();
IntPtr ptr = IntPtr.Zero;
while ((ptr = process.MainWindowHandle) == IntPtr.Zero) ;
SetParent(process.MainWindowHandle, trackerPanel.Handle);
MoveWindow(process.MainWindowHandle, 0, 0, this.Width - 90, this.Height, true);
}
