I think we can open only a few applications inside the panel, but not all.
We can open applications like notepad, word, excel, Acrobat Reader and so on.
However, it won't work for many applications. Then again, we can start the process from win form as shared by Mr. Rajanikant.

In some cases, where the applications are specific and you want to open them within your form without leaving it, you need to get a specific library that allows to open them.
I think you need to provide more details about the application to open.

Refer below for example article and code snippet.

You need to use the process class :
```
Process.Start(@"C:\some_location\myapplication.exe")
```
For arguments:
```
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();

startInfo.FileName = @"C:\some_location\myapplication.exe";

startInfo.Arguments = "header.h";

Process.Start(startInfo);
```
