[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Provides access to user interface settings and native Windows Embedded CE operating system settings on a device.

Namespace:  Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms
Assembly:  Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms (in Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class SystemSettings
'Usage
Dim instance As SystemSettings
public sealed class SystemSettings
public ref class SystemSettings sealed
[<SealedAttribute>]
type SystemSettings =  class end

Remarks

Currently, this class provides settings for the ScreenOrientation and Platform properties only.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to rotate the screen orientation of a device from the default portrait view at 0 degrees to 90 degrees, to 180 degrees, to 270 degrees, and then back to 0 degrees. The button clicks cycle through the ScreenOrientation enumeration.
