cpl file
-
Hello, I want to have a command line program create a cpl (control panel applet)file of another executable. Does anybody have code that would let me do this? Thank you.
Remember that a Control Panel applet is just a DLL with a special function called
CPlApplet(). When the Windows Control Panel starts up, it looks for .CPL files, and for each one found and loaded, it calls itsCPlApplet()function with various messages, such asCPL_INITandCPL_DBLCLK. Is that enough to get you going?

yea that helps. I dont really want to use MFC. I dont know if that code was MFC or not. I was wondering if its possible to convert an exe to a cpl file. I want code that converts the exe to a cpl. -Ryan M.

The three requirements are that the applet must be a DLL, it must have a .CPL extension, and it must export a
CPlApplet()function. My suggestion would be to create an application that met all three of these requirements. WhenCPlApplet()was called with a message such asCPL_DBLCLK, you would then useCreateProcess()to start the .EXE. Make sense?
