Default font name problem

[Paul Squires]

Hi Jose,

Looks like a problem with the default font name (I think). If I leave the font name blank in a call to CWindow.SetFont or CWindow.CreateFont then the class should use the default face name for the class. You are testing with this code:

   IF VARPTR(wszFacename) THEN wstrFaceName = wszFaceName ELSE wstrFaceName = m_wszDefaultFontName

I had assumed that if I passed a Null string as the face name that the class would use the default name.
pWindow->SetFont( "", 10, FW_BOLD)

This fails because a Null string still has an address(?)

Calling the function with a ByVal Null seems to work:
   pWindow->SetFont( byval null, 9, FW_BOLD)

Maybe also add a test to the incoming string for it's length? If the length is zero (null string) then also use the default font name.

This is another thing where FB differs from PB.

It is like they wanted me to use BYVAL PTR instead of BYREF.
