Hi,

I would like to add an item to control panel. I detected, that a shortcut
(*.lnk) in \Windows\Start menu\Settings does work, but the item always
appears in the SYSTEM category of Pocket PC control panel.

How can I move a custom item to another group in control panel?

Is it possible to add custom control panel groups?


Kind Regards,

Chrischmi

Hi Amit,

I read some of that stuff before. That's not exact the thing I'm looking
for. It is possible to add normal programs to control panel LIKE an applet
without programming an applet. For example you are able to add a registry
editor or a skin chooser to control panel just by putting a shortcut file in
\Windows\Start menu\Settings. This control panel shortcuts appear
automatically in SYSTEM section of control panel, but I would like to add
some in the PRIVATE section or an additional section.

Thanks for your information,

Chrischmi

You can choose the section/tab you want the applet to be in by
creating/modifying the following registry key:

[HKLM]\ControlPanel\<AppletName>\Group

Where <AppletName> is the string returned by your applet in response to the
CPL_IDNAME message and "Group" is a dword specifying the index of the
section/tab that the applet should be in (starting from 0).

OK, but what is the CPL_IDNAME of a SHORTCUT? I tried the Name of the
shortcut file i.e. "My App.lnk", the name of the shortcut file without
".lnk" and as well the full Application Name i.e. "My Application".
