    the control panel is NOT a .dll or activeX component. It is simple a "virtual folder" which just contains all the files in the windows directory with the extension ".cpl".

    If you are looking to display a control panel use the Shell function. Here is a link that has 6 pages of control panels that you may be able to use.

    but to sum it up, they all basically get the user's windows directory and shell the".cpl" file.

    Windows automatically displays the corresponding dialog depending on which file you shell.
