Changing Label Size/Font help

[Dragondima]

Hello, I'm having a very difficult time changing parameters using code to a program that has a few labels. I was able to move their position, change their color, but unfortunately not their sizes. This project also uses ActiveX. I'm using VS 2008, and the only articles that give any insight are all for VS 6. m_lblctrl1.SetWindowPos(&wndBottom,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOSIZE); changes m_lblctrl1 position (x,y,cx,cy) m_lblctrl1.SetForeColor(RGB(255,0,0)); changes m_lblctrl1 to red. m_lblctrl1.SetFont(LPFONTDISP); now this is where i've been hitting a very bad wall this is the method i've been tackling. LOGFONT lf; memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT)); // zero out structure lf.lfHeight = 12; // request a 12-pixel-height font strcpy_s(lf.lfFaceName, "Arial"); // request a face name "Arial" VERIFY(font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf)); // create the font m_lblctrl1.SetFont(&lf); the error i'm getting is "error C2664: 'CLabel::SetFont' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'LOGFONT *' to 'LPFONTDISP' " I've done all the research i could do to properly troubleshoot this, but unfortunately i've hit the point where i need professional help. m_lblctrl1 is defined as a CLabel in case that helps. Also i used Do Data Exchange from the original label defined: DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_LBLCTRL1, m_lblctrl1); If anyone has experience with this LPFONTDISP and how to change the label size/font, i'd greatly appreciate help. Thank you for any input, if there is any details i left out, I'd gladly add it. -David

Before tackling that rather difficult project I would advise you to learn ENGLISH. That way you will understand the words "DO NOT POST PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS IN THE LOUNGE" that you obviously were unable to comprehend.

Try posting in the correct board (C++ Board[^]) - this board's for general chat rather than programming specific questions. You'll get told off otherwise!! EDIT: Just seen the message posted before mine! ;P

It definitely isn't definatley
