SetFont vs ListCtrl

[real name]

i'm trying set different font to listctrl
(to keep it's row height independent to small-large fonts settings)
but
i found when i in OnCreate set the same font as actualy is selected
than in DrawItem i receive absolutely different one
(tahoma/400-weight from OnCreate changes to system/700 in DrawiItem)

(also my change in DrawItem - see down - has no influence)

any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
any good example for me (to keep my old DrawItem code)?
thanks

(i'm using some tricks from
http://www.codeproject.com/listctrl/changerowheight.asp
but seems my OnSetFont and MeasureItem have no infulence to my problem)

CMyListCtrl::OnCreate
{
if(CListCtrl::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
return -1;

LOGFONT olf;
GetFont()->GetLogFont(&olf);

CFont NewFont;
if(NewFont.CreateFontIndirect(&olf))
{
LOGFONT nlf;
NewFont.GetLogFont(&nlf);

m_pOldFont = GetFont();
SetFont(&NewFont);
}
}

CNemAttributesListCtrl:: DrawItem
{
CDC* pDC=CDC::FromHandle(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC);

CFont *pOldFont = pDC->SelectObject(GetFont());
LOGFONT olf;
//here will be ret==0: int ret = GetFont()->GetLogFont(&olf);
pDC->GetCurrentFont()->GetLogFont(&olf);

...
}

p.s.
i want to keep headerctrl height too
but with
CHeaderCtrl* pHeaderCtrl = GetHeaderCtrl();
pHeaderCtrl->SetFont(&NewFont);
into listctrl OnCreate is h-ctrl's size ok but text inside is bit down
(= it seems text left-bottom position does not change with SetFond)

CFont NewFont;

m_pOldFont = GetFont();
SetFont(&NewFont);
}
}

This question has been asked zillions of times. Same error, same behaviour. You cannot use a local font variable to set the font of a control. When OnCreate() returns the NewFont goes out of scope, so obviously the font you sent is not used. Make NewFont a member of the class, so it won't go out of scope, until the object is destroyed.

Please read this FAQ.

in first moment surprised because i was looking at
_AFXWIN_INLINE CFont::~CFont()
{ }
so it seems it must stay
will try and react again soon

aha
_AFXWIN_INLINE CGdiObject::~CGdiObject()
{ DeleteObject(); }
my shame
thanks cilu
