Before you begin:
Calling SystemParametersInfo with SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS input parameter populates the NONCLIENTMETRICS structure.

This structure contains the metrics associated with the nonclient area of a nonminimized window. Among the metrics included are the settings for 5 fonts (LOGFONT structures), the OS uses for drawing captions, small captions, menus, status bars and message boxes.
