Thread: Creating textbox style fonts

I want to create a font that looks like the font in standard textboxes you find on web sites.

I am using the CreateFont(...) function and I have the font face but it looks nothing like it.

Is there a easier way to create fonts and get the HFONT handle?

You might enjoy something like:

Code:

HFONT hFont = static_cast<HFONT>(::GetStockObject(DEFAULT_GUI_FONT));

There is no need to delete (::DeleteObject(..)) stock objects like the one in the code example.

wow I would have never found that. It works PERFECTLY.

Glad it helped
