Control Panel applet, example program
-------------------------------------

Description:

This is an example of how to create an "applet" that runs from the 
Windows Control Panel. In most (all?) cases you want to display a form. 
This example does just that - displays a thoroughly useless form when 
you run the applet. The example uses the Delphi cpl.pas unit.


How-to:

After loading the project, build the file CpApplet.pas. It is the source 
for a DLL file, which is what a conventional CPL applet is. Rename the 
resulting file, CpApplet.dll, to CpApplet.cpl (or any other *.cpl name). 
Put it in your Windows system folder (c:\windows\system or whatever). 
That's it. The file should now display in the Control Panel with a title 
and an icon.

For your convenience the compiled cpl file is already included in the 
zip file you received.


Known bugs:

- By convention, a CPL applet should hide the icon of its form. I was 
  too lazy to do that, but feel free to improve.
