Did you try it?

I don't see how it could possibly work, but, it did work, thanks. I am guessing
that this same sort of process would be required to get the FontSmoothing type?

Does this work?

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE,
0,
(void *)FE_FONTSMOOTHINGCLEARTYPE,
SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE);

AliR.

I don't think that that would work because FE_FONTSMOOTHINGCLEARTYPE is set
to the fixed contstant of 2.

Looks like an error in the example

According to the docs
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724947.aspx)

it should be like this

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING,
TRUE,
0,
SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE);

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE,
0,
FE_FONTSMOOTHINGCLEARTYPE,
SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE);

AliR.

That does not compile, I cut-and-pasted it verbatim.

Executing the following code changes font smoothing to Standard rather
than
ClearType. This is running on Windows XP Pro and compiled with MSVC++
6.0. I tried it again with MSVC++ 2005, same result.

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING,
TRUE,
0,
SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE);

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE,
FE_FONTSMOOTHINGCLEARTYPE,
0,
SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE);
