cargar programas dentro de mi app

Hola, lo que debes hacer es utilizar formularios MDI, entonces una
aplicación cualquiera cargada "dentro" de tu programa se visualizará como un
hijo del MDI, el código es el siguiente:

Option Explicit

Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal
lpClassName As Long, ByVal lpWindowName As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long,
ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd
As Long, lpdwProcessId As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal
wCmd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function LockWindowUpdate Lib "user32" (ByVal hwndLock As
Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function DestroyWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As
Long
Private Declare Function TerminateProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hProcess As
Long, ByVal uExitCode As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetCurrentProcess Lib "kernel32" () As Long
Private Declare Function Putfocus Lib "user32" Alias "SetFocus" (ByVal hwnd
As Long) As Long
Const GW_HWNDNEXT = 2
Dim mWnd As Long
Function InstanceToWnd(ByVal target_pid As Long) As Long
Dim test_hwnd As Long, test_pid As Long, test_thread_id As Long
'Find the first window
test_hwnd = FindWindow(ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&)
Do While test_hwnd <> 0
'Check if the window isn't a child
If GetParent(test_hwnd) = 0 Then
'Get the window's thread
test_thread_id = GetWindowThreadProcessId(test_hwnd, test_pid)
If test_pid = target_pid Then
InstanceToWnd = test_hwnd
Exit Do
End If
End If
'retrieve the next window
test_hwnd = GetWindow(test_hwnd, GW_HWNDNEXT)
Loop
End Function

Private Sub MDIForm_Load()
'KPD-Team 1999
'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
'E-Mail:
Dim Pid As Long
'Lock the window update
LockWindowUpdate GetDesktopWindow
'Execute notepad.Exe
Pid = Shell("c:\winntotepad.EXE", vbNormalFocus)
If Pid = 0 Then MsgBox "Error starting the app"
'retrieve the handle of the window
mWnd = InstanceToWnd(Pid)
'Set the notepad's parent
SetParent mWnd, Me.hwnd
'Put the focus on notepad
Putfocus mWnd
'Unlock windowupdate
LockWindowUpdate False
End Sub

Private Sub MDIForm_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
'Unload notepad
DestroyWindow mWnd
'End this program
'Lo de abajo cierra hasta el VB
'TerminateProcess GetCurrentProcess, 0
End Sub

Gente, estoy viendo la forma, y ahun no lo pude resolver, de ver como

hacer

para que cuando se carga un programa, lo haga dentro de mi aplicacion.
Es decir, desde mi aplicacion ejecuto cualquier programa de windows y me
deberia cargar dentro de mi formulario, sin taparme ciertos controles que
tengo en la parte inferior y superior.

Espero alguien pueda ayudareme.
Gracias
Caio
