Is it possible to embed an application(ex: sound recorder) in vb.net form where the application is inside the form and cannot be dragged?

Yes, in principle you can do it, but this is a really bad idea. I wonder why?

Hi SAKryukov,

Thanks.

I'm trying to make a program for english speaking basics where there is a sentence written and the user can test how he sounds when reading the sentence by using the recorder. Just like in http://www.talkenglish.com/LessonDetails.aspx?ALID=2009

Do you have any idea on how to do it?

Please see my comment to the question. This is a really bad idea. Processes are isolated; they do not collaborate unless they are designed for this purpose (sockets, TCP communication, .NET remoting/WCF…). Due to Windows specifics, you can always stick one window inside another, using (P/Invoked) Windows API working with HWNDs (window handles), so what? What would you do next?

Instead, you could better use something in a single process, on a component level, something like this:
C# MP3 Sound Capturing/Recording Component[^].

[EDIT]
Also play attention on the article referenced in the article I referenced above, on the player for the recorded sound:
A low-level audio player in C#[^].
