Hi all

I am quite surprised that I did not get an answer when I posted this
yesterday, I would assume it to be a common and simple thing.
I have tried using CreateFont and CreatePointFont but allways just get a
bolded version of the font that was there before :(
Pleas help me out.

Expect nothing, then you won't be disappointed. Did it ever occur to you
that no-one saw your post yesterday, or that no-one knew the answer?

You can only change the font of a dialogue box and all its controls at
design time. Even then you can't change the colour. To change such details
of all controls at run time you need to (1) create the desired font STYLE
(size, typeface, bold / italic / underline) and call SetFont() for EACH
control, and (2) override OnCtlColor() in the dialogue box's class and call
SetTextColor() and SetBkColor() and return the desired colour brush for
background painting for EACH control.

Does this help?

Hello,

Basically:
    1/ To change the font of a control, create the font using
CreateFontIndirect() and then call SetFont() on the control -- in your
dialog box's OnInitDialog() function.
    2/ To change the color of a control, handle the WM_CTLCOLOR message.
