Thread: Set Button / Edit box font

The CreateFont function can be daunting, given the number of arguments, fortunately, most of them accept the default value.

Code:

HFONT CreateFontEasy(HDC hdc, LPCTSTR szFontName, UINT nFontPointSize, BOOL fBold)
{
	return CreateFont(-MulDiv(nFontPointSize, GetDeviceCaps(hdc, LOGPIXELSY), 72),
	                  0, 0, 0, fBold ? FW_BOLD : FW_NORMAL,
	                  FALSE, FALSE, FALSE,
	                  DEFAULT_CHARSET, OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
	                  DEFAULT_QUALITY, DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_DONTCARE,
	                  szFontName);
}

void SetControlFont(HWND hwnd, int identifier)
{
	HDC   hdc   = GetDC(hwnd);
	HFONT hFont = CreateFontEasy(hdc, TEXT("Microsoft Sans Serif"), 10, FALSE);

	SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, identifier, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM) hFont, MAKELPARAM(TRUE, 0));

	ReleaseDC(hwnd, hdc);
}
