How do I Clone Control Panel Applets

[gerrit]

I need to change the layout of the Date/Time Properties applet as it
does not fit on the screen resolution we have (320x240). Two
questions:

1- How do I clone it so I can modify it? (Clone Catalog Item is greyed
out in the OSDesign View)

2- How can I launch this applet from an application?

Thanks
Gerrit

To clone a cpl, get the code and copy it to your BSP.You should be compiling
a DLL with CPL=1 in the SOURCES file.
As soon as you have a .cpl in your image (in the \Windows folder), it will
be enumerated in you control panel.
To launch the 13th applet, call
CreateProcess(_T("\\Windows\\ctlpnl.exe"),_T("cplmain.cpl,13"),NULL,NULL,FALSE,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,&ProcessInfo);
