.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Interop / October 2005GetCurrentThemeName
Hi, is there any equivalent Set function of the GetCurrentThemeName I want to change the WinXP Style, using the GetCurrentThemeName give me the current active Theme, is there a way to change that programaticly ? is there any SetCurrentThemeName ? I went threw uxtheme.dll and I did not find any function that would do what I want !! thanks Bassem Hi, Have you used the following API's: SetWindowTheme() EnableTheming() EnableThemeDialogTexture() http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platfor m/commctls/userex/functions/setwindowtheme.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platfor m/commctls/userex/functions/enabletheming.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platfor m/commctls/userex/functions/enablethemedialogtexture.asp Kellie. Hi, yes I did try them, they all seem to change the theme of a specific window or application what I want is to change the theme being use by the Operating System, the same behavior as if you go in control panel -> Display Properties and then you change the appearance ... Thanks Bassem Hi, How about the API SystemParametersInfo() http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/sy stemparametersinfo.asp Kellie. Hi, I loocked arround nothing much about themes !!! there's only SPI_SETHIGHCONTRAST to enable HIGHCONTRAST but that's not what I want .... Bassem Hi, Well, the API SystemParametersInfo() has two related parameters, SPI_GETFLATMENU, SPI_SETFLATMENU, does that help your case? if not, try this approach: GetDesktopWindow() GetSysColor() SetSysColors() InvalidateRect() http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/win dowsuserinterface/windowing/windows/windowreference/windowfunctions/getdesktopwi ndow.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/ge tsyscolor.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/se tsyscolors.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/pantdraw_7a no.asp Kellie. > Hi, is there any equivalent Set function of the GetCurrentThemeName > > I want to change the WinXP Style, using the GetCurrentThemeName give me > the current active Theme, is there a way to change that programaticly ? > is there any SetCurrentThemeName ? EnableTheming()-OpenThemeFile() (.msstyles)-ApplyTheme() Where can you find those functions OpenThemeFile and ApplyTheme ? which DLL implement them .... ? > Where can you find those functions OpenThemeFile and ApplyTheme ? > which DLL implement them .... ? Exp. ordinals 2 and 4 from uxtheme.dll. I can't find anything on OpenThemeFile() or (.msstyles)-ApplyTheme() Can anyone point me to somewhere I can find this documented (sample code would be helpful also). Thanks Ben > > Hi, is there any equivalent Set function of the GetCurrentThemeName > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > EnableTheming()-OpenThemeFile() (.msstyles)-ApplyTheme() There is not an OpenThemeFile; you probably meant OpenThemeData. > EnableTheming()-OpenThemeFile() (.msstyles)-ApplyTheme() > There is not an OpenThemeFile; you probably meant OpenThemeData. No. As I said, ordinal 2 (GetProcAddress()) > I want to change the WinXP Style, If you do this from an application which is designed to let the user change the current theme - fine. But if you do it from any /other/ application, most users will place your software gently into the large round file! Themes are a user setting; the users (not your app) should control them. HTH, TC It's going to be used in the sowftware that runs in police cars and so when they do there patrols in night, they change the theme to a HighContrast one so the monitor screen won't illuminate the inside of the car and when it's the day I want to be abble to restore the original theme that they had (before they switch to night mode) Thanks Bassem Ok, understood. I strongly recomment that you include the following line: if miscreant_name = "TC" then do_nothing :-) TC Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
