Below are a few lines from QuickHelp from the PM Programmer Toolkit 1.2 -
persentation paramaters are a new thing in 1.2 - they are APIs and messages
to send to windows to ask them to change font, colour etc - all standard
controls respond to these, and you may imbed them in your dialog definitions
although the Dialog Editor does not allow you to configure them 'by mouse'
as yet.

This PMTK 1.2 is available as an upgrade to the 1.1 version, from the same
place you got your 1.1 version.


#define INCL_WINSYS                                            [1.2]        
                                                                            
BOOL WinSetPresParam(hwnd, id, cbParam, pbParam)                            
HWND hwnd;        /* window handle                     */                   
ULONG id;         /* presentation parameter            */                   
ULONG cbParam;    /* presentation-parameter size       */                   
PVOID pbParam;    /* pointer to presentation parameter */                   
                                                                            
The WinSetPresParam function sets a presentation parameter.                 
                                                                            
Parameter  Description                                                      
hwnd       Identifies the window that contains the presentation parameters  
           to set.                                                          
                                                                            
id         Identifies the presentation parameter to set. It may be one of   
           the following values:
