How to make irrlicht to be displayed in MFC?

Hi everybody,
I have created an MFC application and i splitted the window into two frames. The frist frame is for button and all features, and the second frame is for displaying the rendered frame. Currently i still using a plain OpenGL code to be displayed in the second frame.
The problem with irrlicht engine is always create a new window for it's display, i don't know whether i can override this and put the output instead to the MFC frame that i have created.

Thanks for your help guys!!

Couldn't you just create the one MFC window and use the window Irrlicht creates? That's what the Particle Editor uses, it's seems the most sensible work around.

Hmm, thanks for the advice, but i think it will be my very last effort to do it that way. The application i developed is somekind of editor, so i think it is best to have the display on the second frame instead of having another window. I want it to looks like somewhat like milkshape 3D. Should i post this in advanced forum? Any experienced MFC programmer here?

Thank You Guys!

I've already coded up a simple MFC SDI app using Irrlicht. You can find the source and modified Irrlicht files here.

thanks for your help, i've looked up your code but i cannot run or compile it, do you have workspace file? what version of VC you use?

Thanks again
