VC, Different Font when creating buttons dynamically

Different Font when creating buttons dynamically

Author	Message
Eric Marghei #1 / 6	Different Font when creating buttons dynamically I'm creating several CButton objects (radio buttons, group boxes, etc.) using Create without a dialog resource. They are created using a different default font than the one used in standard dialogs. Why is this and how can I make them use the same font? Thanks

Chris Houg #2 / 6	Different Font when creating buttons dynamically You can use YourRadioButtonControl->SetFont( font, REDRAW ). You might have to hunt around in Character Map to identify which font is used by the dialog editor. HTH

Eric Marghei #3 / 6	Different Font when creating buttons dynamically I tried to use SetFont within the CButton class but it didn't seem to work. I haven't dug into it too deeply, yet. I'll do that tomorrow. I guess it just seems strange to me that there isn't a simply way to make all controls use the same font as is used in the dialog boxes. Wouldn't that be logical? Maybe not. I was also hoping there was a system function I could all to retrieve the current default dialog font. Quote: >You can use YourRadioButtonControl->SetFont( font, REDRAW ).

William Hammon #5 / 6	Different Font when creating buttons dynamically Have you tried this: BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog() { CFont* pFont = GetFont(); ... // code to create a CButton called m_btn m_btn.SetFont(pFont); Quote: } Quote: > Search for SystemParametersInfo( SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, ... ) > Adeluc > DecoTech Design Software Inc. > Internet: http://www.pulsarsoft.com > > I tried to use SetFont within the CButton class but it didn't seem to > work. > > I haven't dug into it too deeply, yet.

Eric Marghei #6 / 6	Different Font when creating buttons dynamically That worked great, thanks!. Seems pretty obvious now that I think about it.
