I’m wondering whether I could implement a Chrome style proces model with a WPF host. One process would handle the tabbing etc, and the content of each tab would be its own process. Maybe wpf or maybe winforms.

Win32 SetParent seems to be an easy solution, but it turns out that when a child process hangs, the parent will also hang as soon as you move the mouse over the child owned window. I guess the SendMessage call in the host is synchronous. I don’t know how to go about fixing this.
So I’m going with a different approach – overlaying tabs over the top of existing windows.
