ive been programming for years, but just recently ive been delving into windows programming. for some reason all the text in my program ( besides the menu text ) is bold. text in a listbox, inside a button, a static label - they''re all bold - and it looks ugly. is there anyway to make them just plain ''o font? - jeremiah inlovewithGod.com

Try using the SendMessage(...) function with WM_SETFONT.


SendMessage(hControlWnd, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM) DEFAULT_GUI_FONT, (LPARAM) 0);

I think that should fix the problem. "hControlWnd" is the handle (HWND) to the control (listbox, button, etc.) of the window to set the font.

Nope, that doesnt work. any other ideas? any idea *why* everything is bold? the text in messageboxes are not bold, but all my dialog boxes and controls in the main window (minus menu) are bold. it''s weird to me.
