Problem displaying CStatic text item
-
Thanks in a related question if I wanted to change the font of the text I'm guessing I would do that in a the OnCtlColor would I use pWnd->SetFont (of course after I created a font) with CreateFontIndirect or would I use the pDC and do pDC->SelectObject Thanks

You are really helpful I am going to press my luck and ask the following if the variable was a CString using DDX_Text as per jeron1 would I then look to change The font in OnCtlColor Thanks Thanks
I do not know. In 23 years of using MFC, I've never used a
CStringas an interface to a static control. Give it a whirl and let us know how it works."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

I can't imagine setting or changing the font color being affected by the type of variable (CString or CStatic)associated with the control.

I was just looking to change the font of a control associated with a CString David's suggestion would work if I associated the control with a CStatic CWnd object Thanks
Another way could be like something shown here[^].

http://www.flounder.com/viewfont.htm[^] Would I need to implement WM_SETFONT WM_GETFONT as per this article
How often are you changing fonts? Once? if so just call SetFont(...) on the static control object in the OnInitDialog() handler and be done with it (make sure the CFont object is a member of the dialog class). After that you can call SetWindowText() whenever you want. Should be quick enough to try.
