Functions
| BeginBufferedAnimation Begins a buffered animation operation. The animation consists of a cross-fade between the contents of two buffers over a specified period of time. |
| BeginBufferedPaint Begins a buffered paint operation. |
| BeginPanningFeedback Notifies the system to send feedback about a target window affected by panning gestures. |
| BufferedPaintClear Clears a specified rectangle in the buffer to ARGB = {0,0,0,0}. |
| BufferedPaintInit Initialize buffered painting for the current thread. |
| BufferedPaintRenderAnimation Paints the next frame of a buffered paint animation. |
| BufferedPaintSetAlpha Sets the alpha to a specified value in a given rectangle. The alpha controls the amount of transparency applied when blending with the buffer onto the destination target device context (DC). |
| BufferedPaintStopAllAnimations Stops all buffered animations for the given window. |
| BufferedPaintUnInit Closes down buffered painting for the current thread. Called once for each call to BufferedPaintInit after calls to BeginBufferedPaint are no longer needed. |
| CloseThemeData Closes the theme data handle. |
| DrawThemeBackground Draws the border and fill defined by the visual style for the specified control part. |
| DrawThemeBackgroundEx Draws the background image defined by the visual style for the specified control part. |
| DrawThemeEdge Draws one or more edges defined by the visual style of a rectangle. |
| DrawThemeIcon Draws an image from an image list with the icon effect defined by the visual style. |
| DrawThemeParentBackground Draws the part of a parent control that is covered by a partially-transparent or alpha-blended child control. |
| DrawThemeParentBackgroundEx Used by partially-transparent or alpha-blended child controls to draw the part of their parent in front of which they appear. Sends a WM_ERASEBKGND message followed by a WM_PRINTCLIENT. |
| DrawThemeText Draws text using the color and font defined by the visual style. |
| DrawThemeTextEx Draws text using the color and font defined by the visual style. Extends DrawThemeText by allowing additional text format options. |
| EnableThemeDialogTexture Enables or disables the visual style of the background of a dialog window. |
| EnableTheming Windows Vista through Windows 7:_Enables or disables visual styles for the current user in the current and later sessions.Windows 8 and later:_This function does nothing. Visual styles are always enabled in Windows 8 and later. |
| EndBufferedAnimation Renders the first frame of a buffered animation operation and starts the animation timer. |
| EndBufferedPaint Completes a buffered paint operation and frees the associated buffered paint handle. |
| EndPanningFeedback Terminates any existing animation that was in process or set up by BeginPanningFeedback and UpdatePanningFeedback. |
