Hello, could you ellaborate a bit further your need ?
Is it 1) You want to show a duplicate of a currently running Windows application form
or 2) You want to show a form that looks exactly like the form from another Windows application (a form that someone has seen and want to have in their application as an example) ?

Solution 1

Example:

Main Application{
form1{
some control
}
form2{
some control
}
}

My Application{
MyFunction{
//this is example because I don't know
IntPrt form2 = Coppy(form2);
ShowWindow(form2,1);
}
}

Total of show window = 3 form1 form2 and my application form 2

Hope you understand me
Thank you

Okay, I understand your requirements better, you actually want to display a copy from an existing application already running on the machine... I believe that could be done with a lot of sweat and code and actually I don't really see what it will be good for....
