Examples

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

C#

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();
}

Remarks

Caution

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