Associating Font to the Window

[bint]

Hi!
How I can declare a one font (Tahoma) global for a window, buttons and other controls? Help me, please.

In a dialog its easy, the font face name and the font size are part of a dialog definition. With a lower level Window where you have more manual control you must use different methods that involve the API CreateFont() and SendMessage hWin,WM_SETFONT,0,0 style code for each window.

CreateWindowEx()
CreateFont()
SendMessage()

Insert it after CreateWindowEx()?

With CreateWindowEx()) there are a couple of places you can set font handles, either in the WM_CREATE message processing that is done DURING the CreateWindowEx() call OR after you have done the CreateWindowEx() call using the returned handle. In the WM_CREATE message processing you must use the handkle from the Wndproc call for the main window.

Hutch--, than you. I will try the first variant.

A-a-a-a, understand! Yes-yes-yes!

if uMsg==WM_CREATE
    CreateFont(xxxxxxx)
    SendMessage hWin,WM_SETFONT,0,0

Thanks.
