How do I open an executable in a determined form's area? Example: Open an 
executable and show it on the left forms part with a size of 400 x 300.

Answer:

This works for me. Keep in mind that some apps have their startup settings set 
somewhere which may override the Startup structure you pass.

1   procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
2   var
3     StartupInfo: TStartupInfo;
4     ProcessInfo: TProcessInformation;
5   begin
6     FillChar(StartupInfo, Sizeof(StartupInfo), #0);
7     StartupInfo.cb := Sizeof(StartupInfo);
8     StartupInfo.dwFlags := STARTF_USEPOSITION or STARTF_USESIZE;
9     StartupInfo.wShowWindow := SW_SHOWNORMAL;
10    StartupInfo.dwX := Left;
11    StartupInfo.dwY := Top;
12    StartupInfo.dwXSize := 400;
13    StartupInfo.dwYSize := 300;
14    CreateProcess(nil, 'yourapp.exe', nil, nil, false, CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE or
15      NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, nil, nil, StartupInfo, ProcessInfo);
16  end;
