B4J Question Docking window

[Firpas]

Hello everyone
In Vb6 and also in Vb.Net it is possible to embed an application inside a container control (PictureBox for example) using certain functions of the Windows API (FindWindow, SetParent and MoveWindows).

This article (in Spanish) explains how to do it

http://www.elguille.info/NET/dotnet/setParentNET.aspx

Is it possible to hack something like this also in Java with B4J?

Thanks for your cooperation

Thanks for your quick response.
If I have been watching this work, but it seems to me that it is not exactly the same.
What I intend is to run an executable (jar) inside the form of another executable (jar).

I guess this will not work.

What you can do is for ex:
Create a nonui app which does output to std
From the 2nd app you can call the 1st app using shell and capture the output which you show in your form...

    shl.Initialize("shl", "gdal_merge.bat" , args)
    shl.WorkingDirectory = "C:\OSGeo4W64\"
    shl.Run(-1)  ' .RunSynchronous(10000) 'set a timeout of 10 seconds
    running = True
    t.Enabled = True   ' t is a Timer which i start after running the nonui app (in this case a batchfile)
End Sub
Sub Timer_Tick
    If running  Then
        memo.Text = shl.GetTempOut ' show the active output in a textarea
    End If
End Sub

But speaking about an UI App this will not work. I dont know if you can run another app "in yours".

I want to do something like html tag iframe.
You can show a second url inside an iframe as you know

It is not possible to embed another application in your application.
