I have created a Control panel applet. The icon is placed in the control panel. When I double click my icon, it just opens a notepad application.
What I have to implement is, when I double click on my icon, it should open the GUI similar to the UI of other the Control panel (Power options of control panel.)
My question is, do I need to create a separate windows forms application? or any other way is there?
Creating address bar similar to explorer is not possible, since MS has not exposed such control.
You can take a look at the following link...
MFC: Address Bar control like Windows Explorer

I need to set title.ico as my application icon and shortcut.ico as my desktop shortcut. Is there any way to do it in a Qt application itself while building?
Whenever the user right-clicks on my application and clicks on sendto->desktop(create shortcut), the shortcut should have shortcut.ico. But now it's always displaying title.ico.
I checked WinApi IShell_link but it didn't help.
I am also a beginner, but turns out this is possible. See this thread: https://forum.qt.io/topic/45324/taskbar-icon-different-from-the-icon-of-the-window/8
Hope I understood you right. Enjoy!
Edit 2018-03-13:
Create your icon in diffrent sizes (e.g. 16px, 32px, ...) as an .ico (while on Windows), for further information visit: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/appicon.html
Call QWindow::setIcon() (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwindow.html#setIcon)
Profit. The icon should now be visible in the greater resolution in the taskbar, while the smaller one is choosen for the app window.
I have a c++ application. The app icon shows fine on the start menu, task bar etc., but not in Add / Remove Programs in the control panel. What do I need to do to fix this?
Control panel add/remove program reads all the programs list from registry.
For XP it's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
you can take backup of your registry, and remove your program name from this registry.
I have an application that opens up IE browser windows at certain intervals throughout the day. I would like to control the monitor that the browser window opens up to (for example browser1 opens on monitor1 and browser2 on monitor2 and browser3 on monitor1 and browser4 on monitor2). Is there a way using C++ (app is written in C++) to control the monitor that I open the browser window on?
There are various third-party utilities that will allow a user to control this, but programatically you would have to use something like GetMonitorInfo / MoveWindow to position IE after launching it.
An alternative would be to embed an IE control in a dialog or window of your choosing which you would then have complete control over.
I am using Xtreme Toolkit Pro for creating docking pane in my MFC application.
The Pane class allows to attach only one control (which is inherited from CWnd class) at a time. I want to add multiple controls in my pane. How can I achive it?
If any one has an experience in this or relevant area please share it with me.

Through the builtin dialog editor you can create a window with multiple control
Make sure the properties Appearance>Style is set to "Child" and Behavior>SystemModal is set to "False".
Then just attach the Dialog window handle to the docking pane.
I developed a custom ActiveX control:ax_love.
When I insert it into a ppt inside and double click this control will show a pop-up VisualBasic window,this is unacceptable. I hope the double click action will trigger my own function.
ps:I use atl/com in vs2017.
In Design mode, clicking on an ActiveX control will open up the VB window - this is as-expected. In Presentation mode, clicking on the ActiveX control will trigger your function.
If you want a version of this to only open in Presentation mode (so users won't be taken to a VB page), save the file as a PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Show (.ppsm). Then it always opens in Presentation mode (keep a copy in .pptm format for editing, but don't give that one to your users).
