Re: Fonts

Ed I think you have missed a couple of points from the last thread.

1. You need to make LabelFont part of your class deceleration, or else it
will go out of scope.
2. Assuming c_Text1 is a variable attached to IDC_INFO then you simply have
to call SetWindowText on it.

c_Text1.SetWindowText("Something");

3. You don't need to call UpdateWindow(); as SetWindowText will update the
display automatically.

Here is kinda what it should look like.

class CMyDialog : public CDialog
{
public:
    ......

private:
    CFont LabelFont;
    CStatic c_Text1;

};

void CMyDialog::DoDataExchange(....)
{
    CDialog::DoDataExchange();
    DDX_Control(pDX,IDC_INFO,c_Text1);
}

BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();

  CFont * f = c_Text1.GetFont();
  ASSERT(f != NULL);
  LOGFONT lf;
  f->GetLogFont(&lf);
  lf.lfHeight *= 5;
  lf.lfWeight = FW_BOLD;
  LabelFont.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
  c_Text1.SetFont(&LabelFont);

  c_Text1.SetWindowText("Text");

  return TRUE;
}
