Hello All,

I’m using Processing ver. 3.3x and would like to Open/Launch a 3rd Party software to run  
within a “contained” frame.

Is this possible?

Please direct me to any functions/documents for further reading, or a quick tip on which  
function to use!

Thank you in advance.

Need more details. Do you mean that you want to create a frame within your Processing sketch window, and then load… another Java application compiled from source? Precompiled? a web page? Microsoft Word?

What type of app, on what operating system?
