    Change Notepad properties using VBA?

    Dores anyone know how I could change the Font, Font Style, Font size, and page setup information (specifically margins) in Notepad by using VBA? I have a third party application that I can program VBA in but I must ensure Notepad is set up properly before printing the file I am creating or it will not format properly.

    Thanks-
    Cubbie

    On win 2k

    have a look at registry:
    Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\notepad

    You can change them only if notepad is not already opened (notepad loads settings at startup, and write them when quitting. Thus last notepad to close will write to registry...)

    lfFaceName= font name
    iPointSize= size of font, where:
    size (hex=64 =10 points)
    (hex=c8 = 20 points)
    ...at present time, using mainly Net 4.0, Vs 2010



    Special thanks to Lothar "the Great" Haensler, Chris Eastwood , dr_Michael, ClearCode, Iouri and
    all the other wonderful people who made and make Codeguru a great place.
    Come back soon, you Gurus.
