Is it possible to embed an EXE my friend made using VB6 in my application without getting the source code. The idea is to create a sort of effect similar to an iFrame in a web page. Idk whether this is possible but i'de love to see it happen.

Thx for the help

Ask your friend if they could create a DLL instead of an EXE and then you can include in any project. That is basically what companies selling third party controls are doing.

Yes, you can embed any file (including exe) into an OLE control, then execute it using:

Code:

OLEControlName.DoVerb

I hope it helps. Let me know if you can't figure it out and I will put a quick example together for you if needed.

I had a few minutes to put an example together for you. See attached project.

You can embed any type of file (exe or otherwise) that you want to in a Resource file. Extract it then use it. But rememeber if this exe is 500Kb then it increases the size of your compiled exe by 500Kb.
