Hi
is it possible to create a control panel applet using VB6?
a search suggested me that a cpl is a renamed standard dll which implements 2 methods DllMain() and CPIApplet() ... well... as we cannot create standard dll in vb6...
is there any workaround?
or in worst case... any third party tool?
You can shell most of the features provided by the Control Panel from VB, so you could actually "build" a Control Panel using a Form and some icons.
u got me wrong buddy... i have created a service in VB.. now i want to provide a applet in control panel for that service...how about that?Quote:

Basically what you need to do is create a wrapper for the VB6 linker, and add an exports command. The article explains it all.
Due to the limitations of VB you still need at least 1 class module in your dll, but all the rest can be straight .bas modules.
Couldnt you just control your service from the Services CP Applette?
Nops! my service depends upon parameters which i have to set through my suggested control panel applet..Quote:

Thanx a lot buddy... you solved me a huge problem... :wave:
