SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanging Event

Occurs when a user preference is changing.

Namespace: Microsoft.Win32
Assembly: System (in system.dll)

'Declaration
Public Shared Event UserPreferenceChanging As UserPreferenceChangingEventHandler
'Usage
Dim handler As UserPreferenceChangingEventHandler

AddHandler SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanging, handler

/** @event */

JScript supports the use of events, but not the declaration of new ones.

Exception typeCondition

InvalidOperationException

System event notifications are not supported under the current context. Server processes, for example, might not support global system event notifications.

ExternalException

The attempt to create a system events window thread did not succeed.

Caution noteCaution

Because this is a static event, you must detach your event handlers when your application is disposed, or memory leaks will result.

The following code example demonstrates how to monitor the UserPreferenceChanging event. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the SystemEvents class.

'Set the SystemEvents class to receive event notification 
'when a user preference changes, the palette changes, or 
'when display settings change.
AddHandler SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanging, _
AddressOf SystemEvents_UserPreferenceChanging

AddHandler SystemEvents.PaletteChanged, _
AddressOf SystemEvents_PaletteChanged

AddHandler SystemEvents.DisplaySettingsChanged, _
AddressOf SystemEvents_DisplaySettingsChanged
