Disables input to all open forms. Use SalAppDisable and SalAppEnable when there are multiple applications running simultaneously and you want to control which application receives user input.
Returns: Boolean. bOk

Returns: Boolean. bOk
Stops all tracing. Any calls to SalTrace() occurring after SalEndTrace() will be ignored.
Returns: Boolean.
Finds a visible top-level window for the specified application. its window handle.
Returns: IntPtr. hWnd

Set the value of an entry in the specified section of an initialization file or registry. All profile information is stored as string, so if you want to store an integer it must be converted to a string first. Then it can be retrieved as an integer using the SalGetProfileInt- Function .

section | The section heading. | |
entry | The entry whose associated value is being set. | |
value | The value of sEntry. | |
fileName | The name of the initialization file or company name depending on the settings made using the SalUseRegistry function. If you are searching for an INI file and do not specify the full path, searches for the file in the Windows subdirectory. |
Returns: Boolean. bOk
Allows tracing to begin.
Returns: Boolean.
Outputs a string to the trace output target selected earlier in the SalStartTrace function.

The resulting path will be: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software<company name><application name><section><setting>\
Returns: Boolean. bOk
EventHandler Fired when the loaded skin changes.
