Enumerate and Host Control Panel Applets using C#.

[yxq]

Hello,

I found a sample code for enumerating and hosting control panel applets,
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/appletengine.asp

but the applet icons have ugly shadow, how to get rid of it?

Thank you

In your 'Sub Main', call 'Application.EnableVisualStyles' followed by
'Application.DoEvents' before showing the forms.
