ComponentSpace Control Panel Host - DLL - V1.1 by ComponentSpace

Create a Windows control panel applet in Visual Basic using the easy to use Control Panel Host. Instead of having to deal with the arcane C interface of control panel applets, all you need do to create a Visual Basic control panel applet is develop an ActiveX DLL, implement the supplied IControlPanel interface, and register your applet with the Control Panel Host. You define the applet’s name and description and also the icon to display. Your applet receives control whenever the user clicks it. The Control Panel Host offers Visual Basic developers a fast and simple way to create control panel applets.

To create a control panel applet, create a Visual Basic ActiveX DLL project and add a reference to the supplied Control Panel Applet Interface type library. Add a class that implements the IControlPanel interface. This interface consists of three properties, the applets name, description and icon, and an OnDoubleClick method thats called whenever the user clicks your applet within the control panel. A simple test harness is included to make it easy for you to debug your applet from within Visual Basic.

You may use the supplied RegCpl tool to register your applet with the Control Panel Host. Alternatively, instructions are provided if you wish to do this from your own installation program.

The supplied CplHost.cpl DLL hosts your applet. It implements the applet C interface and translates this to the ActiveX IControlPanel interface. CplHost may host as many applets as you like.
