Re: Calling SystemParametersInfo

I read MSDN description of SystemParametersInfo. I don't think it even
mentions which dll or whether its available on WinCE. I think I saw
Windows Server 2000. I got my code from the net.

You need to be careful which version of the documentation you are looking at
when using MSDN. MSDN has numerious sets of documentation for the various
platforms Microsoft supports and although there is a certain level of API
compatability each platform presents its unique extensions and/or
limitations.

For example you can find the documentation for the SystemParametersInfo API
in at least the following two places:

Desktop specific documentation -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724947.aspx

Windows CE / Windows Mobile specific documentation -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa932539.aspx

Sometimes the differences between the different versions is rather minor but
in other cases the documentation and API capabilities are substantially
different.

In this case you will notice the requirements section at the bottom of each
page lists user32.dll and coredll.dll respectivly as the location of this
API.

Hope this helps,
Christopher Fairbairn
