Your LabelFont object dies as soon as you exit OnInitDialog. So
setting the font for c_text1 doesnt achieve anything. Declare this as
a member of your dialog class or call a Detach on the font object
before exiting the method.

Font size

Here is what I did? Have I done anything wrong?

In OnInitDialog() I have added:

  CFont LabelFont;
  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);

I used to display the message like the following:

void CMyDlg::OnSelect1()
{
GetDlgItem(IDC_INFO)->SetWindowText("MY MESSAGE"); //new message
UpdateWindow(); //display it

}

Now, how do I get the string to display with the new font
without using GetDlgItem?
Thanks
