Can TextPad be added to the Windows Form toolbox or added as a reference? I would like to add it to a .NET application.

You'll have to ShellExec it or use *shudder* DDE.

you can use this control to embed TextPad (or any app) into a Win Form.

Apart from the technical issues, there might be licensing issues if you try to embed Textpad into your application and then distribute your application ...
Textpad is NOT freeware ...

the control I mentioned does not embed any code or redistribute it. It mearly launches the program from your machine and captures the application window and makes it act as a child window to your Win Form. This is what I mean by "embed".
