changing default font

How to change the font of a control?eg., button control.thanks

You will need to create a CFont object in the class dealing with the control, i.e. if the control is on a Dialog box, embed the CFont in the CDialog derived class. Create the font in your class constructor. In the OnInitDialog() function, use the SetFont function for your control either as :

GetDlgItem(IDC_CONTROL)->SetFont(&font) ;

or

m_control_name.SetFont(&font) ;

Don't forget to destroy the CFont object in your destructor. You have to do the destruction after the controls you selected the font into have been destroyed.

how to create a CFont object with predefined windows fonts?

[Roger Allen]

The only way I know of doing this is to use the GetFont() function on an existing window and then apply that to your control. Of course you will have to get the font form a window you know has the font you want to use.
