Hey, i would like to emblem a game build on Unity 3D (i have the .exe and the data folder) in my application made on Visual Studio using C#.

More detailed, i would like something like this : Image Here <img src="http://i.imgur.com/ZpCK1lU.png" height="300" width="430">

I did that using this code :

C#

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Summary description for Form1.
	/// </summary>
	public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
	{
		private AppControl.ApplicationControl applicationControl1;
		/// <summary>
		/// Required designer variable.
		/// </summary>
		private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

		public Form1()
		{
			//
			// Required for Windows Form Designer support
			//
			InitializeComponent();

			//
			// TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
			//
		}

		/// <summary>
		/// Clean up any resources being used.
		/// </summary>
		protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
		{
			if( disposing )
			{
				if (components != null) 
				{
					components.Dispose();
				}
			}
			base.Dispose( disposing );
		}

		#region Windows Form Designer generated code
		/// <summary>
		/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
		/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
		/// </summary>
		private void InitializeComponent()
		{
            this.applicationControl1 = new AppControl.ApplicationControl();
            this.SuspendLayout();
            // 
            // applicationControl1
            // 
            this.applicationControl1.Anchor = ((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles)((((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Top | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom) 
            | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Left) 
            | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right)));
            this.applicationControl1.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
            this.applicationControl1.ExeName = "notepad";
            this.applicationControl1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(24, 24);
            this.applicationControl1.Name = "applicationControl1";
            this.applicationControl1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(698, 445);
            this.applicationControl1.TabIndex = 0;
            // 
            // Form1
            // 
            this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
            this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(750, 511);
            this.Controls.Add(this.applicationControl1);
            this.Name = "Form1";
            this.Text = "Form1";
            this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load);
            this.ResumeLayout(false);

		}
		#endregion

		/// <summary>
		/// The main entry point for the application.
		/// </summary>
		[STAThread]
		static void Main() 
		{
			Application.Run(new Form1());
		}

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            applicationControl1.ExeName = Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\RLE_Beta10.exe";
        }
	}
}

It works perfect with some applications but with my application and calculator for example it does not work as it should, it does not run the application emblem-ed but it runs it normally.

So, anyone knows how to fix it ?

I don't know what this AppControl.ApplicationControl component is. The SetParent API can be used to "embed" external application "into" an other form, like this:

C#

public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent);

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Process p = new Process();
            p.StartInfo.FileName = "Notepad.exe";
            p.Start();
            Thread.Sleep(50);
            SetParent(p.MainWindowHandle, this.Handle);
        }
    }

But a hardware accelerated 3D application will certenly use an overlay, which can not be hosted this way.
