Windows APIs
Hi,
I want to know what are APIs and if they can be used in my programs.I want my application to show the preview of the different color schemes like the appperance tab of
display properties in windows.Should i use any dlls?If so can you please tell me which one
and how.I also want to be able to reflect them back onto my system.
Thank you.
(I guess this will need a guru
.)
First of all, thanks for the link.But i would like to know if there is any way we can determine
what a dll contains and if it contains something what would be the functions' name or control properties etc.For your question-No, I want to preview windows- how it will look for different color schemes just like the one in the appearence tab of display props.
Thanks.
There are various forums about that have API-specific sections. You could try them, and/or you could do some leg-work yourself. There are a zillion APIs available and there is documentation about, but it's hard to find what you're looking for unless you know what you're looking for. I often use
AllAPI or
pinvoke to search for API functions that have suitable sounding names and then search MSDN for the details.
Thanks for the link it was great but i didn't get what i want .To be specific, i found a registry key
which says "Windows Theme Preview Api" and in one of the subkeys or parent keys it shows
themeui.dll . So i want to use this thing in my application.One more word, this key is in
HKLM/software/classes/clsid/{}.I don't know if this will be in same place for your registry.Searching Msdn isn't even helping
Thankyou in advance.
