You would be better asking this question in
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32.

I don't know much about this, but .... You can certainly do this in
Window 9x gdi32.dll, user32.dll and kernel32.dll worked by calling the
old 16-bit windows libraries user.exe etc.  It may not be possible in
NT derivatives.

You can certainly do it with OLE, but it would be moderately painful.
