NAME SetPrefs -- Set Intuition preferences data. SYNOPSIS Prefs = SetPrefs( PrefBuffer, Size, Inform ) D0 A0 D0 D1 struct Preferences *SetPrefs( struct Preferences *, LONG, BOOL ); FUNCTION Sets new preferences values. Copies the first 'Size' bytes from your preferences buffer to the system preferences table, and puts them into effect. The 'Inform' parameter, if TRUE, indicates that an IDCMP_NEWPREFS message is to be sent to all windows that have the IDCMP_NEWPREFS IDCMPFlag set. It is legal to set a partial copy of the Preferences structure. The most frequently changed values are grouped at the beginning of the Preferences structure. New for V36: A new and more extensible method for supplying Preferences has been introduced in V36, and relies on file system notification. The Intuition preferences items rely also on the IPrefs program. Certain elements of the Preferences structure have been superceded by this new method. Pointer changes submitted through SetPrefs() are only heeded until the first time IPrefs informs Intuition of a V36-style pointer.ilbm preferences file. The Preferences FontHeight and LaceWB fields are respected only from the system-configuration file, and never thereafter. As well, the view centering and size apply only to the default monitor, and not to such modes as Productivity. Other fields may be superceded in the future. INPUTS PrefBuffer = pointer to the memory buffer which contains your desired settings for Intuition preferences Size = the number of bytes in your PrefBuffer, the number of bytes you want copied to the system's internal preference settings Inform = whether you want the information of a new preferences setting propagated to all windows. NOTES Unless you are responding to a user's explicit request to change Preferences (for example, you are writing a Preferences editor), you should probably avoid using this function. The user's Preferences should be respected, not overridden. RESULT Returns your parameter PrefBuffer. BUGS SEE ALSO GetDefPrefs(), GetPrefs()
