Windows MFC/Win32 question

[AdrianH]

Does anybody know if there is a way of changing the font in the title bar of a tool window (dialogue window with the tool bit set)?

If I were to change it, would it cause the height of the title bar to change if the font was not as tall, like if I changed it in the control panel.

Also, is there a way of calculating the minimum size of a checkbox with text?

Thanks,


Adrian

I remember reading something about this in my MFC book...I'll find it and get back to you.

Thanks, much appreciated. I was going to approach it the checkbox question by:

.  +---+  +---------------------+
   |   |  | Check box text      |
   +---+  +---------------------+
  Rect A  Rect B

1. somehow getting the rects of the checkbox(A) and the text box(B)
2. creating a rect that is a union of the two(C) (because height of A and B may not be the same)
3. Calc the rect of the text “Check box text” (D)
4. C.right = B.left + D.Width()

But I’m not sure how to get the rects of the checkbox and the text box.

Alright, so far all I got from the book is that you can only change the font style/size of the text in the dialog box itself, not the title. I'm not sure if there is something else in later chapters, but I'm still looking...
