is it possible to open a control panel application from a
MFC application?

I'd like to open the control panel app after a button or a
menu item has been pressed. Is this possible?

Thanks for help...

All you need to do is launch control.exe with the name of the cpl file
as the first parameter.  For example, to launch the modem control panel
applet, run "control modem.cpl" from the command line or a CreateProcess
call.

The gist was: Since control panel applets are essentially DLLs, use
LoadLibrary (or AfxLoadLibrary) to load the .CPL file, use GetProcAddress
to get the CPlApplet entry point, do what you need to do with the control
panel applet, then call FreeLibrary when you're done.

Sorry this isn't more specific, sine I'm working from memory, but perhaps
it points you in the right direction.
