FriendFeedDemo Control Panel Application
While not being very fancy, this application (called ControlPanel) is a small demonstration of how the real Windows Control Panel functions.
When the Control Panel is launched, it looks for .cpl files in the Windows system folder. The .cpl files (called applets) are simple DLLs that export the CPlApplet function. For each applet found, the Control Panel loads that DLL with the ::LoadLibrary function call and then uses the GetProcAddress function to realize a pointer to the CPlApplet function. For each applet, it calls the CPlApplet function by passing it different messages such as CPL_INIT, CPL_INQUIRE etc. You can get help about different messages in the online help of MSDN.
When the Control Panel calls the CPlApplet function with CPL_INQUIRE message, the .cpl file returns a CPLINFO structure which holds information about that perticular applet such as its name, icon, info tip etc. When the Control Panel applet is double-clicked by the user, the CPlApplet function is called with the CPL_DBLCLK value. At this point, the applet generally displays a dialog from which the user can interact with the applet.

HI
Is there also anyway to go direct to the Local Area Connection in windows XP? I don't want to go first to the network properties. I want to do this with C++ Builder.

from your startup disk copy the following files to c:
aspicd.sys
btcdrom.sys
oakcdrom.sys
then edit config.sys and add this:
DEVICE=Oakcdrom.sys /d:mscd001
DEVICE=Btcdrom.sys /d:mscd001
DEVICE=Aspicd.sys /d:mscd001
save it
then edit autoexec.bat and add this:
mscdex.exe
mscdex /d:mscd001
then save it
restart your computer then go on pressin f8
then select command prompt only
the drivers for your cd rom will be enabled

Thanks for your application, i think it's really helpful. I also have a question to ask. Is there anyway that I can invoke one of the item within the pop up dialog after I double click on the one of the control panel item, for example "Printer" item. Can I programmatically execute my "LaserJet printer" without double click on the item?
thanks
