How do I launch a control panel applet?

Question:

How do I launch a control panel applet?

Answer:

You can launch a control panel applet by calling WinExec 

to execute control.exe, passing the name of the control 

panel applet as a command line parameter. Applets files 

(.cpl) can be found in the Windows system directory. Note: 

Some of the applet files will not be found in the Windows 

system directory. Those applets can be executed simply

by name.



Example:



procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

begin

  WinExec('C:\WINDOWS\CONTROL.EXE TIMEDATE.CPL', 

       sw_ShowNormal);

  WinExec('C:\WINDOWS\CONTROL.EXE MOUSE', 

       sw_ShowNormal);

  WinExec('C:\WINDOWS\CONTROL.EXE PRINTERS', 

       sw_ShowNormal);

end;
