System font in MsgBox & DDT

[Alex Mitchell]

If the windows desktop is set to a large system font, the MsgBox
and dialogs (made using DDT) no longer match. MsgBox grows
its font (and button size), but in DDT only the Caption grows.

I can change the fonts of indivdual controls within a dialog, by
sending then a WM_SETFONT message during WM_INITDIALOG, but not
the whole dialog at once. Nor can I find a way to change the
font used in MsgBox.

How do I get the two types of WIndow to match, regardless of
which system font the user has chosen?

I may be wrong, but did you try some of the various styles for the Msgbox?

Ie, Msgbox "Test", %MB_ICONSTOP,"STOP"


Hadn't noticed this before, interesting..

I didn't try any icon styles, but I did try to make the MsgBox
modal, even though this is supposed to be the default.
%MB_APPLMODAL and %MB_SYSTEMMODAL didn't work, but %MB_TASKMODAL
did.

I did also try styles in the DIALOG NEW statement to try
to over-ride the default %DS_SETFONT.
