A CPL is a DLL, and there isn't any elevation activity that occurs in
response to just a LoadLibrary(). Process (EXEs) and COM objects can
be launched with elevation required, and is what the control panel
applet would have to do.

At least for the items its allows configuration of that will require
elevation. (i.e. Maybe not everything a control panel applet shows
requires elevation just to show it, but may require elevation to
actually modify the information.)

"Control Panel" topics and the spawning of an elevated EXE or COM
object from otherwise non-elevated code is discussed in at least these
Vista security-related documents:
