CPSUI

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

SUMMARY

The Common Property Sheet User Interface (CPSUI) is a user-mode dynamic link library that enables developers to create property sheet pages that have a standard appearance.

This application causes CPSUI to call into the Windows NT®/Windows® 2000 print spooler to create property sheet pages for the system's default printer (printer interface DLLs should not do this). The application then creates an additional property sheet page to illustrate some of the techniques that can be employed when using CPSUI to create a new page.

BUILDING THE SAMPLE

This sample requires that the Windows 2000 SDK and DDK be installed so that the required headers and libs are available.

To build the samples, run build from this directory. The DLL will be placed in the appropriate platform directory. This sample runs on both x86 and Alpha platforms.

Once built, the sample produces one binary: Cpsuisam.exe. The sample is 64-bit compliant and compiles properly with Microsoft® Visual C® 6.0.
