using System; using Microsoft.Win32; public sealed class App { static void Main() { // Set the SystemEvents class to receive event notification when a user // preference changes, the palette changes, or when display settings change. SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanging += new UserPreferenceChangingEventHandler(SystemEvents_UserPreferenceChanging); SystemEvents.PaletteChanged += new EventHandler(SystemEvents_PaletteChanged); SystemEvents.DisplaySettingsChanged += new EventHandler(SystemEvents_DisplaySettingsChanged); // For demonstration purposes, this application sits idle waiting for events. Console.WriteLine("This application is waiting for system events."); Console.WriteLine("Press <Enter> to terminate this application."); Console.ReadLine(); } // This method is called when a user preference changes. static void SystemEvents_UserPreferenceChanging(object sender, UserPreferenceChangingEventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine("The user preference is changing. Category={0}", e.Category); } // This method is called when the palette changes. static void SystemEvents_PaletteChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine("The palette changed."); } // This method is called when the display settings change. static void SystemEvents_DisplaySettingsChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine("The display settings changed."); } } // This code produces the following output. // // This app is waiting for system events. // Press <Enter> to terminate this application. // Display Settings changed. // User preference is changing.
