Well, I'm making a program. And whenever you type in the editbox it has this really ugly font. I want to know how to change the font that will be represented in the edit box. I tried searching for CreateFont() examples, but none of them were examples for edit boxes. If someone can give me an example code on how to do this with CreateFont() or any other way, it would be nice. Thanks.

Sry, I forgot to say this was C++. There is no object inspector. There is with wxDev-C++. But I don't use that.

Didn't appalsap explain to you how to use that on IRC?

Take a look at appalsap's IconHidder source code, it uses that API.

No he just told me that I could really only use the first and last parameter(size, and name of font).

an edit box is no different than a button, they are all windows and the implementation of fonts is the same.

I know. But how do I set the font. My tutorial doesn't say how to set the font unless your printing text

You really should follow your own advice and read some tutorials:

Specifically, the bottom of http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/fonts.html

Heheh, I didn't see that part Wink

Edit:

Wtf is wrong with this?

Code:

SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_MAIN_EDIT, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)"MS Sans Serif", TRUE);
 


It compiles fine. But when I run it doesn't work. The font is the same! Did I put it in the wrong place.

First I tried putting it under my edit box creation.

Code:

case WM_CREATE:
        HWND hEdit;

        hEdit = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "EDIT", "",
            WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL,
            50, 50, 100, 20, hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_EDIT, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);                   
        if(hEdit == NULL)
            MessageBox(hwnd, "Could not create edit box.", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
            SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_MAIN_EDIT, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)"Times New Roman", TRUE);
             break;


Then I tried putting it under WM_SETFONT

Code:

case WM_SETFONT:
             SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_MAIN_EDIT, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)"Times New Roman", TRUE);
             break;


But still it doesn't work. Wtf is wrong?

Code:
BOOL InitInstance(HINSTANCE hInstance, int nCmdShow)
{
   HWND hWnd;

   hInst = hInstance; // Store instance handle in our global variable

   hWnd = CreateWindow(szWindowClass, szTitle, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
      CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
   
   // Create box and set font
   HWND TextBox = CreateWindowEx(NULL, "EDIT", NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
      0, 0, 200, 50, hWnd, (HMENU)EDIT_1, hInstance, NULL);

   HFONT Font = CreateFont(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, "Times New Roman"); // Change the last param to your font.
   SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, EDIT_1, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)Font, TRUE);


   if (!hWnd)
   {
      return FALSE;
   }

   ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow);
   UpdateWindow(hWnd);

   return TRUE;
}
