AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::OnSettingChange	Detects the current state of the desktop's menu animation and taskbar autohide features.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::RegisterWindowClass	Registers the specified MFC window class.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::ReleaseTaskBarRefs	Releases interfaces obtained through GetITaskbarList and GetITaskbarList3 methods.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::Resume	Reinitializes internal function pointers that access methods that support Windows themes and visual styles.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::SetLayeredAttrib	Provides a simple way to call the Windows SetLayeredWindowAttributes method.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::SetMenuFont	Creates the specified logical font.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::ShellCreateItemFromParsingName	Creates and initializes a Shell item object from a parsing name.

AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::EnableAccessibilitySupport	Enables or disables Microsoft Active Accessibility support. Active Accessibility provides reliable methods for exposing information about user interface elements.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::IsAccessibilitySupport	Indicates whether Microsoft Active Accessibility support is enabled.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::IsWindowsLayerSupportAvailable	Indicates whether the operating system supports layered windows.

Data Members

Name	Description
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::bIsOSAlphaBlendingSupport	Indicates whether the current operating system supports alpha blending.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::bIsWindows7	Indicates whether the application is being executed under Windows 7 OS or higher
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::clrActiveCaptionGradient	Specifies gradient color of active caption. Generally used for docking panes.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::clrInactiveCaptionGradient	Specifies gradient color of inactive active caption. Generally used for docking panes.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_bUseBuiltIn32BitIcons	Indicates whether the framework uses predefined 32-bit color icons or icons of a lower resolution.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_bUseSystemFont	Indicates whether a system font is used for menus, toolbars, and ribbons.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_hcurHand	Stores the handle for the hand cursor.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_hcurStretch	Stores the handle for the horizontal stretch cursor.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_hcurStretchVert	Stores the handle for the vertical stretch cursor.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_hiconTool	Stores the handle for the tool icon.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_nAutoHideToolBarMargin	Specifies the offset from the leftmost autohide toolbar to the left side of the docking bar.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_nAutoHideToolBarSpacing	Specifies the gap between autohide toolbars.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_nDragFrameThicknessDock	Specifies the thickness of the drag frame that is used to communicate the docked state.
AFX_GLOBAL_DATA::m_nDragFrameThicknessFloat	Specifies the thickness of the drag frame that is used to communicate the floating state.
