Modular Control Panel

Hi Guys,
I am trying to esign a modular control panel for my application. I would
like it to work something like the windows control panel. The difference
being that instead if each icon opening into a new form, the icon open into
a panel. The panel becomes a child of my control panel application. The
control panel needs to be modular so that some users can have configuration
specific 'applets'.
I have used Dynamically Linked packages in the past to acheive a similair
effect but with problems :
- Updating some control panel packages requires that I recompile
everything. This stop me from updating single applets effectively.
- All the other compnents of the application need to be contained in
packages also, as project needs to be compiled using runtime libraries.
Is there some way that I can contain my control panel panel component inside
a dll, or package and get around the problems mention?
Would creating the panels as ActiveX or COM objects solve my problems, or is
this overkill (as i would have to learn COM)?
If anyone has any experience with modular applications, please offer any
advice that may be useful.
Thanks
David
