I'm trying to open K!TV within a panel in VB.Net Application. I can open up other exe's and such (like notepad), but it won't actually open K!TV within the panel specified. What it is doing is opening up K!TV outside of the application (like if you opened it from the start menu), not within the application. I really need some way to open it this software within a panel on the canvas. Any help is appreciated! Merci!

Code:

Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()

'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

End Sub

'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Dispose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub

'Required by the Windows Form Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer

'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
Friend WithEvents m_clsAreaPanel As System.Windows.Forms.Panel

<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
Me.m_clsAreaPanel = New System.Windows.Forms.Panel
Me.SuspendLayout()

'
Me.m_clsAreaPanel.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, 0)
Me.m_clsAreaPanel.Name = "m_clsAreaPanel"
Me.m_clsAreaPanel.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(880, 528)
Me.m_clsAreaPanel.TabIndex = 0

First have a look in the item "Faq" of the help of K!TV, there is some command line argument which may help you.

Anyway here it is a generalist forum, the forum dedicated to developpement is there :

Unfortunately this is entirely in french with no english posts... can you tell me what post it may be in, that way I can start to translate it as best as I can.

I have seen that you have posted successfully on the forum, so I guess you are talking about the FAQ ??
Here it is in english :

I've looked through those FAQ at great length to try to find the answer, but have been unable to discover a solution from the command line arguements. Right now I move thigns where they need to be using the -x and -y commands (both in the .ini file and at the command line), but that is causing problems. Basically I need to make sure that the KTV window is within its own place in the entire program that I'm writing. The only way that I have found to do this with vb.net is to put it into a panel window on a application canvas. if there are other ways to make sure that it fits within it's own window in a program I'm open to suggestion.

The problem We are running into is, with the absolute references (-x -y -w -h, etc...) is that sometimes when the computer reboots those values change (I don't know how...but they do), meaning that the KTV window will then appear over what I put around the KTV Window.
