  First of all, thanks for the link.But i would like to know if there is any way we can determine
  what a dll contains and if it contains something what would be the functions' name or control properties etc.For your question-No, I want to preview windows- how it will look for different color schemes just like the one in the appearence tab of  display props.
                                                                                                            Thanks.

  Thanks for the link it was great but i didn't get what i want .To be specific, i found a registry key
  which says "Windows Theme Preview Api" and in one of the subkeys or parent keys it shows
  themeui.dll . So i want to use this thing in my application.One more word, this key is in
  HKLM/software/classes/clsid/{---------------}.I don't know if this will be in same place for your registry.Searching Msdn isn't even helping
                                                                              Thankyou in advance.

  There are various forums about that have API-specific sections.  You could try them, and/or you could do some leg-work yourself.  There are a zillion APIs available and there is documentation about, but it's hard to find what you're looking for unless you know what you're looking for.  I often use AllAPI or pinvoke to search for API functions that have suitable sounding names and then search MSDN for the details.
