Hey,

I was wondering how I would go about putting an application inside of a D
program. For example, if I created a window with gtkD, how could I allow a
program written in C++ to run inside of that window?

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

Is this an incredibly stupid question or does no one want to help me out?

I'd love to help but I have no idea how to even start thinking about how one
might do this.

Thanks for the info! I know people are willing to help, I was just getting
frustrated with it as I'm not entirely sure how to accomplish this. If I figure
out something, I'll post it.

Thanks!

The type of thing you're talking about is what COM is for.  You can use 
COM for instance to embed Internet Explorer into an app.
D has some support for COM, but I don't know anything about it because I 
avoid non-portable Windows-specific things.
