# How to: Use SystemParameters
|
|
This example shows how to access and use the properties of <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters> in order to style or customize a button.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
System resources expose several system based settings as resources in order to help you create visuals that are consistent with system settings. <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters> is a class that contains both system parameter value properties, and resource keys that bind to the values. For example, <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters.FullPrimaryScreenHeight%2A> is a <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters> property value and <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters.FullPrimaryScreenHeightKey%2A> is the corresponding resource key.
|
|
|
|
In XAML, you can use the members of <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters> as either a static property usage, or a dynamic resource references (with the static property value as the key). Use a dynamic resource reference if you want the system based value to update automatically while the application runs; otherwise, use a static reference. Resource keys have the suffix `Key` appended to the property name.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to access and use the static values of <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters> to style or customize a button. This markup example sizes a button by applying <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters> values to a button.

|
|
|
|
To use the values of <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters> in code, you do not have to use either static references or dynamic resource references. Instead, use the values of the <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters> class. Although the non-key properties are apparently defined as static properties, the runtime behavior of WPF as hosted by the system will reevaluate the properties in realtime, and will properly account for user-driven changes to system values. The following example shows how to set the width and height of a button by using <xref:System.Windows.SystemParameters> values.
