    HI,
    I would like to execute external application and display its window as part of model. I'm looking for as agnostic aproach as possible, as this external application could be different (ie. like GUI diagnostic tools)
    At first I thought about framebuffer (xvfb) used in Linux to test GUI applications. Then I thought about streaming multimedia (like Web streaming).
    Is it possible? How to do it?

    PS: If this is incorrect subforum - please move this post to proper one.
