I don’t know if this is possible, and my search terms might have not been correct, but is it possible to run ANOTHER EXTERNAL program within an Xojo window?
For example, and off of the top of my head, let’s say I want to use VLC player WITHIN an Xojo Window, is that possible?
I saw some items speaking about Xojo.Core, but also saw threads saying it was no longer available.

MBS has a vlc plugin that allows you to use it directly inside your app. Nothing native. On macOS you can look at avfoundation. Again use mbs or write your own declares (a lot of work)
could be possible that the vlc installer also installs the web-brower plugins
and maybe the xojo html viewer could play this videos?
microsoft created a concept of Component Object Model 32 years ago.
there was a time that components was linked into a development project (VB6) and you can
just drop this into a window and have office excel,word or pdf viewer, very cool.
much of this things are deprecated today and was replaced as this one had a time in browsers few years.
