    What app do you want to run specifically?
    If you want to play a movie, you can use QMovie.

    the binary or executable is a player but special player that has "too many secrets", so im having trouble recreating it plus im fighting time here, so i will just add the needed arguments and run the executable but i dont want it to be a pop up..

    anyways thanks

    embed an application to your application,

    for example i will add mycalculator to a Qdialog
    if mycalculator is a binary and not a source code is this possible??
