Please help me, how to Launch External .exe application in the WPF Window.
Below code, I am able to open Notepad.exe and WinWord.exe applications in the WPF window but not other applications.. when i try to open other .exe applications it is opening in separate window.
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
public IntPtr MainWindowHandle { get; set; }
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern long SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent);
//[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
//private static extern int GetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex);
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
try
{
//External exe inside WPF Window
System.Windows.Forms.Panel _pnlSched = new System.Windows.Forms.Panel();
WindowsFormsHost windowsFormsHost1 = new WindowsFormsHost();
windowsFormsHost1.Child = _pnlSched;
_Grid.Children.Add(windowsFormsHost1);
//_Grid.Children.Add(_pnlSched);
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Program Files\Atwin\Atwin2k2.exe");
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
Process PR = Process.Start(psi);
PR.WaitForInputIdle(); // true if the associated process has reached an idle state.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
IntPtr hwd = PR.MainWindowHandle;
SetParent(PR.MainWindowHandle, _pnlSched.Handle); // loading exe to the wpf window.
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//Nothing...
}
}
}
