I'm looking for a control which will allow me to run any app inside a
Window/Panel/Tab

Specifically I want to be able to save xml files created from XMLSpy to a
database in a very specific format - I'd like to run XMLSpy in a window
inside this app, then save/retrieve files to/from a sql server db. Not
quite seamless integration, but better than nothing.

Thanks

Hi David,

You cannot run an application inside another application. The only way you
can do it is thru inplace activated OLE controls (for example MSExcel
implace activated inside MSWord). However this is feature of MSExcel and and
MSWord and cannot be do be done for any application.
