Hi All
I was hoping for some pointers in the right direction

I'm trying to develop an application that will allow four windows to be displayed at the same time, each running an independant application. eg #1 running a PowerPoint presentation,  #2 running any application, #3 an multi-media file & #4 a web browser.

My cunning plan is to create an MDI with four children as
the Multi-media and web browser I can handle using controls  but how do I tell a shelled app what size and where the window its to run in will be.

I suspect I'm going to be in for a trip into the API jungle as
I've tried doing some research but the leaves blocked out the trees.

Hi RayZore,

U need to use the SETWINDOWPOS API... The following is a sample code from ALLAPI.net....

Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1 Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2 Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1 Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2 Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10 Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40 Private Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) Private Sub Form_Activate()     'KPD-Team 1998     'URL: http://www.allapi.net/     'E-Mail: KPDTeam@Allapi.net     'Set the window position to topmost     SetWindowPos Me.hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOACTIVATE Or SWP_SHOWWINDOW Or SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE End Sub
