Then you have to go into a resource file and find a very specific resource ID for your control panel string, and create a new resource ID to me it to.

Ah yes the joys of working with Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), Back in the day I supported a VS6.0 application, you have room for 65535 UI elements in an application (Including DLL's) I had to split the ID's up in ranges to enable adding new elements in a sane way.
