yes, it's possible embed calc in own application still run in it's own process space. there may restrictions imposed uac depend on how calc launched. need change parent of main calc window , change it's style ws_child.

void embedcalc(hwnd hwnd) {     hwnd calchwnd = findwindow(l"calcframe", null);     if(calchwnd != null)     {         // change parent calc window belongs our apps main window          setparent(calchwnd, hwnd);          // update style calc window embedded in our main window         setwindowlong(calchwnd, gwl_style, getwindowlong(calchwnd, gwl_style) | ws_child);          // need update position since changing parent not         // adjust automatically.         setwindowpos(calchwnd, null, 0, 0, 0, 0, swp_nosize | swp_nozorder);     } }
