Question
How to notify Windows system that some appearance settings has been changed by my program?
I'm working with:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop -> FontSmoothing + FontSmoothingType
What is a standard way? Maybe there is some message. Where to send it?
Solution
Don't modify the registry directly.
Instead, call the SystemParametersInfo
function:
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING, TRUE, NULL, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE);
