Font color

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;
}
