Windows Mobile Control Panel applets are normal dlls renamed with special extension .cpl. They are actually loaded by ctlpnl.exe process.<\/p>\n
Following code snipped is what you need if you want to show a Control Panel applet from your program. This way you make it easy for your user to change desired settings, without any \u201ccomplex\u201d navigation.<\/p>\n
\nBOOL ShowControlPanelApplet(int id)
\n{
\nTCHAR szParams[32];
\nSHELLEXECUTEINFO execinfo = {0};
\nmemset(&execinfo, 0, sizeof(execinfo));
\nexecinfo.cbSize=sizeof(execinfo);
\nexecinfo.lpFile=TEXT(\u201c\\windows\\ctlpnl.exe\u201d);
\nexecinfo.lpVerb=TEXT(\u201copen\u201d);
\n\/\/ Id value determines which control applet will be launched
\n\/\/ For e.g. 23 for bluetooth applet
\nwsprintf(szParams, L\u201dcplmain.cpl,%d\u201d, id);
\nexecinfo.lpParameters = szParams;
\nBOOL bRet=ShellExecuteEx(&execinfo);
\nreturn bRet;
\n}<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe parameter id refers to the control panel applet that you want to show. Below is the table of id values and the corresponding applet names.<\/p>\n
