Hi

From within my application, I would like to spawn an arbitrary third party 
application (say foo.exe) in the following way:

1. Check whether foo.exe is already running so that I don't attempt to run 
it twice;
2. Spawn foo.exe
3. Make foo's parent my application, so that it displays within one of my 
windows;
4. From my app, terminate foo.exe

I can probably cope with (3), but I am at a loss about how to do the rest.

Many thanks in advance,

Denville.
