When you start a control panel in explore with "detail" selected, you see in
comment column, the string of comment, how can I add this comment to my CPL
application ?

I have added the comment in project/option/version Info, "comment " in the
box of key/value, when start control panel, still no comment show up.

The comment is returned in a response to the CPL_INQUIRE message passed to
your CplApplet() entry point.  The message contains a CPLINFO structure
instance that you need to fill in with information about your applet.  You
need to add a string table to your application, and then in the idInfo
member of the CPLINFO structure, return the resource ID of the string that
cooresponds to your comment.  Also implement a handler for the
CPL_NEWINQUIRE message as well, and fill in the passed-in NEWCPLINFO
structure with the same information.  Only this time, you can copy the
string into the NEWCPLINFO structure directly without using a string table.
