VB Forum / Win API / August 2008SetParent Problem
I have one vb project and one compiled exe project. I have a problem setting the parent of the compiled exe program to my vb project. I know my setparent code works with notepad and other non vb program but it doest work for a compiled vb project exe. Can someone give me some advice on this ? Thanks in advance! >I have one vb project and one compiled exe project. I have a problem setting >the parent of the compiled exe program to my vb project.

You'll need to define "doesn't work". Is there anyway to work around it? >>I have one vb project and one compiled exe project.

Most likely... that is, if you post details that describe what "it" is... you still haven't mentioned exactly what "doesn't work" means. *What* doesn't work? *Why* do you think it's not working? *What* results do you expect? Can't read minds around here and we can't see your app, code, desktop, monitor or anything else. All we have to go on at this point is.... "it doesn't work", which leaves about 2 billion possibilites. Sorry I thought you meant it "doesn't work". What happens is it fails to change the parent of the .exe vb project. After the exe file executes, it is still a desktop window. I want to make it part of my vb project(setting the . exe project's parent to me.hwnd), and I'm able to get notepad.exe to work. My VB project is a form(non MDI) , the .exe vb project is also a form(non MDI). >>Is there anyway to work around it? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >monitor or anything else.

My >VB project is a form(non MDI) , the .exe vb project is also a form(non MDI). It surely sounds like you're getting the wrong value when you attempt to get that apps hWnd. Try running and placing a breakpoint near the SetParent call... compare the hWnd you're using to the one shown by Spy++. I found the problem, it was not getting the correct handle.
