I want to create an control panel applet with the appearence of windows XP (buttons, tabs, etc) just like the mouse applet looks like.
I have no problem creating and applet by itself but i'm not able to display the dialog () with the XP looks. I imported the RT_MANIFEST as i normally do with a dialog based app but it did not work, i went to msdn and found this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/userex/cookbook.asp?frame=true#control_panel
they mention the control panel applet but i really don't understand waht i should do, speacially the link to commoncontrol part.
My steps to create are:
- create an mfc dll
- define the necessary functions (calback, ...)
- rename it to cpl
any thoughts? sugestions? you know the drill :D
