Font Issue on Button Controls

[madhad15]

I am writing a C++ Win32 program. I have searched the web using google and found what I am looking for (normally I do pretty quickly). I am trying to figure out how to change the Font Size of the Text displayed in a simple Button. For instance a button of similar stype to the one created by the following code.

HWND button = (HWND)CreateWindow("COMBOBOX", "",CBS_DROPDOWN | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 0, 0, 40, 100, hwnd, (HMENU)0, hInst, NULL);

Thank you in advance for anyone who trys to help.

Had this laying around...

HFONT CreateFont(HDC hdc, int pitch, const wchar_t *facename, bool bold = false)
{
    // calculate font height based on requested pitch
    int nHeight = -MulDiv(pitch, GetDeviceCaps(hdc, LOGPIXELSY), 72);

    LOGFONTW lf = {0};
    lstrcpyW(lf.lfFaceName, facename);
    lf.lfHeight = nHeight;
    lf.lfWeight = bold ? FW_BOLD : FW_NORMAL;
    lf.lfOutPrecision = OUT_TT_PRECIS;
    lf.lfQuality = PROOF_QUALITY;

    return CreateFontIndirectW(&lf);
}//CreateFont

You may want to play around with lfOutPrecision and lfQuality. Once you have your HFONT, you set the font by sending WM_SETFONT to the control.
