Capturing a Window as a child form

using .net
what i want to do is simply

take the
AIM buddy window(BW), MSN BW and Yahoo BW and make them child form of an MDI parent. I want to keep all their functionality messages can pop up anywhere as usual i just want to be able to put these together to clean up my desktop a little.

i know with VB.net this can be done just not sure how its been years since ive used VB

it seems like you would need to do something along the following lines. I read on MSDN that you can emulate MDI child windows in VB.NET without actually creating that type of project by creating a variable of type = your new form, and adding a control of your new variable (new form) to your existing form. This restricts the new form to the confines of your original, thus creating the look of an MDI child. It seems that if you can get the handle of the window you want to bring into your application, then you could use that value to do something similar.

you can look here for information on Embedded Forms.

thanks fisherman thats a great push in the right direction how maybe i can create a new form embedded form based on a window handle
