We've been doing this since D3. I'm now combining this with a plug-in
mechanism so that the embedded forms are contained in a DLL.
This means we can have a standard shell app that never changes and the
various different modules - that are currently seperate exe's - will be
moved into DLL's. Using interfaces I have created an API that allows the
add-ins to talk to the shell and vice-versa.
The shell lets the user login, load's the DLL's that are appropriate for the
user, add's each add-in to a menu (outlook style) and activates the add-in
when the user selectes it.
I haven't yet allowed add-ins to communicate with each other but this is
possible via the interface.
