Re: Changing fonts in Client View
The lifetime of my CFont object is the same as <name>View. In skeleton form:
Constant.h
extern LOGFONT lf;
extern CFont obj;
Constant.cpp
LOGFONT lf = { <Courier specification> };
CFont font;
CMainFrame::CMainFrame()
{
font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf); // Font for text output
}
<name>View.h
class C<name>View : public CScrollView {}
<name>View.cpp
C<name>View::C<name>View { SetFont(&font); }
and it crashes in SetFont() on
ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd));
with m_hWnd invalid (this time, I recall it has worked w/o crashing in the
past).
I am doing something dumb. I do not understand what that is. Any help?

SetFont will work. You need to make sure that font object lives as long as
the window itself. Make it a member of the class.Here is a KB article of

I'm trying to change the font in a Client View in an MDI application
(<name>View.cpp) and am having trouble. I used SetFonts(LOGFONT* lf) with
Courier and it didn't work. Any idea how to do the nasty deed?
Details: The project contains <name>Doc & <name>View. I and using the
Client
Window controlled by <name>View as a logging output window. The current
font
is a variable font type (system font I suppose) and I'm trying to change
it
to a fixed font (Courier). I have used 'EnumFontFamiliesEx' to get the
LOGFONT structure for Courier and <name>View.SetFont() to change the font.
Doesn't work.
