Hi!

I am developing an application and I need to show the System Settings dialog (or control panel), but all I could find so far is how to open any of the items inside the dialog (like password, Backlight, Today etc.), not the dialog itself. If there is some Windows API for that, I would be happy with that as well.

Any suggestions?

I answer my own question. There is an API call that makes it possible:

::PostMessage(::FindWindow(L"HHTaskbar", NULL), WM_USER + 122, 0, 0);

(The credit for this magic goes to the developer of Wisbar Advance, who was very helpful and shared it with me :) )

Will it be possible to get this in some kind of Shortcut?
