Retrieving font information

[Mike]

I am trying to retrieve (from unmanaged code) the font information from
windows within a .NET application using SendMessage( hEnd, WM_GETFONT, 0,
0 ).. However the return value is NULL every time....:-(

Does anyone know whether this is actually possibly, or is it just a bug
within Windows forms?

Thanks in advance...

Mike

Are you sure it does not use the system font?
This is from the WM_GETFONT documentation:
"The return value is a handle to the font used by the control, or NULL if the
control is using the system font."

Yes, I am sure.
I am using a sample application that I wrote so I can change the font on the
form design view.
