Is there a way (declares are fine, I don’t want to use MonkeyBread’s WinNotificationMBS class) to be alerted by Windows when a particular registry item is altered?
At the moment, I am periodically polling the value of a particular registry key to see if the user prefers a light or dark theme for their apps but I was wondering if there is anyway to be notified by the OS of a change to a particular registry entry.
Would you mind telling me how WinNotificationMBS would notify this?
But I could of course implement something like RegNotifyChangeKeyValue with the plugin.
Feel free to explain how it works with MBS @MonkeybreadSoftware. I own and love your plugin but I’m just specifically looking for a native Xojo implementation (as this is part of an open source project).
Well, I just offered to implement something new for this.
We don’t have a registry watching feature, I think.
This works as a hack: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:p_sUt25PxEwJ:https://garrypettet.com/blog/2019/9/9/detecting-lightdark-mode-on-windows+&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=safari
Cool. Something learnt.
