Title: Changing Form and Menu Font
Post by: Carl Oligny on July 31, 2012, 09:08:56 PM

I am able to change the font on any of the controls using FF_MakeFontEX and FF_Control_SetFont or SendMessage hWndControl, %WM_SETFONT, hFont, %TRUE commands, but I cannot find a way to change the font of a form caption or form menu. I am using FF3.6.

These are systemwide settings. You cannot change them for single applications.

Thank you, Rolf. Wish there was a way to change the font of the menu, but I can live with the restriction.

You could change the font of the menu but you would need to use ownerdraw techniques. Borje posted code in the PB forums on how to implement your own custom drawn menu. I used similar code to create the top menus for the JellyFish Pro Editor.
