// Event.cs -- Demonstrates using the Microsoft.SystemEvents class to intercept
// an event generated by the system.
//
// Compile this program with the following command line:
// C:>csc Event.cs
//
namespace nsEvent
{
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.Win32;
public class Event
{
//
// Define the delegate
public delegate void UserEventHandler (object obj, UserPreferenceChangedEventArgs args);
//
// Declare a variable that will hold the delegate
static public event UserEventHandler ShowEvent;
static public void Main ()
{
//
// Create the delegate using the event handler (below)
ShowEvent = new UserEventHandler (EvHandler);
//
// Creeate the event handler using the new operator
UserPreferenceChangedEventHandler handler = new UserPreferenceChangedEventHandler(ShowEvent);
//
// Add the delegate to the system delegate list. This is a multi-cast delegate
// and you must use the += operator to add the delegate. Use the -= operator
// to remove the delegate
SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanged += handler;
//
// Show a message box to keep the program alive while you cause an event
MessageBox.Show ("Hey! C Sharp", "System Events");
//
// Remove the delegate from the system delegate list
SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanged -= handler;
}
//
// Declare and define the method that will be used as the event handler function
static void EvHandler (object obj, UserPreferenceChangedEventArgs args)
{
/* Retrieve the category of the change */
UserPreferenceCategory cat = args.Category;
/* Build a string for the message box */
string str = "User changed the " + cat.ToString() + " category";
/* Show the change event */
MessageBox.Show (str, " event category");
}
}
}
