I'm surprised that even NotePad will work inside a Panel in a Windows Form !

I think the following are relevant to your concerns:

on CP, 2004: [^]

on StackOverFlow, 2011: [^]

I would expect "major" non MS applications, like PhotoShop, to never run inside a WinForm, but, I could be wrong.

I think, in general, it is a very bad idea to ever use an instance of another application inside a WinForms app. You are not going to be able to interact with the other application unless you do some tricks like writing a file to a folder that your WinForms app has set a FileWatcher to fire a callback to you when the folder has changed. Back in the stone-age, in the era of COM, SendKeys was a way for VB to interact with other applications, and it was a royal pain in the arse to use (I hope it's extinct, by now).

MS "hands you" standard techniques for automation with the MS Office tools, and IE, and other companies may offer you some sort of API for their software (even hardware) so you can interact with it indirectly. And, of course, you can have a WPF app in a WinForm, and the reverse.

But, I invite you to consider whether it's really wise to struggle to get Application "X" working inside a WinForm.
