I'm writing a java app and at some point I create a window using Windows API through JNI.

How can I create a jpanel over a part of that window so I can add gui to it in the java side?

If that's not possible, then can I create a window in java and set it's parent to the first window to achieve a similar result?

Why do you need to create a native window using JNI? What's wrong with `JWindow`, `JDialog` or `JFrame`? – MadProgrammer Jun 22 '13 at 03:05
It's a vst plugin window, for what I have a c++ library that creates the synth's window. – Damian Jun 22 '13 at 03:09
Swing GUI's are built to be as OS-agnostic as possible, making your request very difficult if not impossible to achieve. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jun 22 '13 at 13:01
