Is a Managed MDI child possible from a WIN32 MDI parent?

Hello everyone!

This may be a stupid question but ...

I have an Application that I can add "plugins" to. It is a Win32 app
with a Multiple Document window area where it displays child windows.

I add functionallity by writing Win32 dlls. Lately I've been using
IJW to mix managed with unmanaged code.

I'd like to be able to have my forms be incorporated into the MDI
structure instead of being "Pop-up" dialog style forms.

Is it even possible to have a .Net winform be a MDI child to a Win32
app, and if it is, what do I need to do to make it so?

Either way, thanks in advance,

Certainly! And if you're using MFC for the unmanaged portion, there's even a CWinFormsView to make
it easier.

Unfortunately, the unmanaged "master" app is in pure c & assembly
coded to the windows API's of which I have no access to the source.
Is there any way to join "Bare bones" MDI window app with a child .Net
winform?

Thanks again.

That is going to be entirely dependent on the app. If it has a protocol for adding plug-ins, then
there should be some documentation about what you can do with them.
