Progress 11.3 We have Progress GUI application that we have not had the time or resources to rewrite using .Net Forms. We have used .Net forms for new features but keep wanting to use some .Net controls in some of our exiting ABL windows. I know this is unsupported but decided to give it a try. Using a form with FormBorderStyle set to none, and the WinApi calls setParent and MoveWindow, I've been able to get this basically working in a small test environment.
