IMHO you cannot write CP applets in VB.
From the docs:
"Every Control Panel application must export the standard entry-point function, CPlApplet. "
with VB 6 you cannot write "normal" DLLs, only ActiveX DLLs.

Hi there
Re your problem with Control Panel Apps in VB-
Hehehe... Got the same problem but there is a way to get aroung with a little help of C ! You can use a little CPL stub whitch shows up in the control panel
and whitch looks in the registry for an exefiles name to launch when activated.
Hmmm... interested? Drop me a note then OK?
