Open .CPL in AMS

[abnrange]

Hello,

Can AMS do this?

I would like to incorporate Windows .CPL files with in ams and not launch them seperate. Can I load firewall.cpl and show it in an AMS object? If so, how? Could not find anything in the forums. Thanks

You can't display control panel applets within AMS afaik but you can certainly open them from AMS e.g. -


File.Open("firewall.cpl", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Thanks - Can a plugin be developed to do this or is it limitaion of AMS?

I wouldn't have thought so as a single item. The applets are so diverse that I would guess you'd have to deal with them one by one and what's the point of re-inventing the wheel so many times over. Having said that, at least one of them has been 'covered' more or less by an example by one of the IR staff a long time ago now. That was the add/remove programmes applet.

Saying that it is a limitation of AMS doesn't make any sense to me at all. AMS does what it says it does and a whole lot more to boot.
