1. can a separate interactive .exe run within Win32Lib pgm?

I'm working toward writing a program which can among other things display an animation in a window (thanks to Matt & Greg's wrap of Media Player for Win32Lib!).

I'd also like to add a facility for an interactive graphical display, which I can potentially accomplish as a stand-alone .exe "game" by using a model building/animation open source graphics program called Blender which has an interior game engine which can output an .exe. (It does have a scripting API for Python, but that doesn't much help me, unless maybe I try to learn Python.)

So, I'm wondering if it's remotely possible for an .exe program to run within a window created under Win32Lib, allowing controls from the Win32Lib program to act on the .exe "game"?

I could live with having my Win32Lib program execute the "game" as a stand-separate with its own user controls, but I'd rather integrate it into my program, if possible.

I realize I/we wouldn't have this problem if we had a similar high-level graphics program written in Euphoria, but Blender took a LOT of work by a lot of people.

Any thoughts?

Wow, thanks, I can't wait! Well, actually, I have so much to learn about Blender just to start to begin that I'd have to wait anyway, but I'll be very glad to see what you can come up with!

No. I've been having trouble getting Euphoria 4, Win32Lib, and EuCOM to play nice together.
