Font in CWnd

[includeh10]

I created a CWnd control with widow styles WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE (parent is a CWnd also), then set a new CFont to the control by SetFont(...) function. But, when called CFont*pFt=GetFont(); inside the CWnd control, return value of pFt is null. Should I add more window styles? How do you set a font to CWnd to ensure that GetFont() is valid? BTW: I tested to create a CStatic, GetFont() is still null;

See comments here[^] about the return value from the WM_GETFONT message.

I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

At which point do you call GetFont? Does the window already/still exist at that point? Calling it from within OnCreate() should be safe to ensure the font has been set.

Additionally, it will return 0 too when called on a control/window that doesn't exist (yet/anymore/at all).

Just call GetFont immediately after SetFont, so that we can test whether the problem is with invalid window handle. For a valid window handle it must work.

If u can Dream... U can do it
