I am trying to create a dialog box, and have the fonts inside two
controls be something other than the default font.
My controls look like this:
CONTROL "Text", ID_CALLSIGN, 5, 52, 94, 21, WC_STATIC, SS_TEXT |
DT_LEFT | DT_TOP | WS_GROUP | WS_VISIBLE
CONTROL "", ID_NAMEADDRESS, 107, 47, 114, 27, WC_MLE, MLS_BORDER |
WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP | WS_VISIBLE
Can anyone suggest how to tell the Dialog box to display different
fonts?

Tell the entire Dialog to use a different font in the Dialog definition, otherwise, send the WM_SETFONT message during the WM_INITDIALOG message. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Tom Hite | The views expressed by me | |Manager, Product development | are mine, not necessarily | |CADSI (Computer Aided Design Software Inc. | the views of CADSI. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Is there a chance that someone can demonstrate either of these methods in this newsgroup? I have not found any way to do it in the references I have, and as this is the second time I've seen this type of request, and I have no idea how to do it, I'd like to see an example.

I use the PRESPARAMS statement. For example, to change the font of a *previous* CONTROL to 8 point Helvetica, use the following PRESPARAMS statement: CONTROL "Text", ID_CALLSIGN, 5, 52, 94, 21, WC_STATIC, SS_TEXT | DT_LEFT | DT_TOP | WS_GROUP | WS_VISIBLE CONTROL "", ID_NAMEADDRESS, 107, 47, 114, 27, WC_MLE, MLS_BORDER | WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP | WS_VISIBLE PRESPARAMS PP_FONTNAMESIZE "8.Helv" This will change the font for the ID_NAMEADDRESS control but not for the ID_CALLSIGN control. Also, subsequent controls will *not* have this new font. There are other presentation parameters and they are defined in the file pmwin.h.
