Hi,
I would say that the standard approach if you want to embed a program into OMI is to create a Client Control, wrapping the program you want to display in a WPF control, a WebWidget, or even a .Net Client Control. There is also the OMI Toolkit available for creating your own 'applications' that can be hosted within an OMI application.
There are too many challenges if you were to 'embed' an .exe program in another program that I have not seen any other software supporting this at all. (at least not in a good and stable way).
This is why we had ActiveX components in the past, and the above mentioned .Net client controls, and WPF and Web Widgets so on.
The latter also targets to support OMI Web witch is not possible using legacy controls.
I have seen some solutions where InTouch initiates the exe and it is built to be running on-top of an empty space on the screen in the application, but this quickly becomes unmanageable if you want to incorporate the program in your standard navigation model.
Your approach of embedding an Remote Desktop is one valid workaround, and I have seen some discussions here on the forum on embedding VNC or similar to be able to view external programs in OMI.
The choice of technology depends on the program that you want to embed, if you have the source code for it and the dependencies of the embedded program.
Hi, further adding to Richard's comment, the best way to do this is via .NET Control. Web widget is a more front end and won't be able to embed .exe applications. You can use WPF to embed within OMI as an OMI App
