Menu Font

[TimStone]

I have set the Main( ) window to "Segoe UI Boldface" and a -14 size font. This works well everywhere except the main menu.

I create oWnd, and then use oWnd:SetFont( oFont4 ) ( which is the Segoe font )

However, my menu displays in a much smaller font.

How can I increase the size of my menu display ? I have looked through all the resources without success.

Is there no answer to this question ?

Hi !
I don't know how to use it with FWH

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include <windows.h>
#include "hbapi.h"
#include "hbapiitm.h"

#define HB_PARNL( n, x )   hb_parnl( n, x )
#define HB_ISLOG( n )      ISLOG( n )


static BOOL newStyle = TRUE;

typedef struct _MYMENUITEM
{
   UINT uiID;
   LPSTR caption;
   UINT cch;
   HBITMAP hBitmap;
   HFONT hFont;
   UINT uiItemType;
} MYMENUITEM;



HB_FUNC( MENUITEM_SETFONT )
{
   if( newStyle )
   {
      MENUITEMINFO MenuItemInfo;
      MYMENUITEM * pmyMenuItem;

      MenuItemInfo.cbSize = sizeof( MENUITEMINFO );
      MenuItemInfo.fMask = MIIM_DATA;
      GetMenuItemInfo( ( HMENU ) hb_parnl( 1 ), hb_parni( 2 ), FALSE, &MenuItemInfo );

      pmyMenuItem = ( MYMENUITEM * ) MenuItemInfo.dwItemData;

      if( GetObjectType( ( HGDIOBJ ) hb_parnl( 3 ) ) == OBJ_FONT )
      {
         if( pmyMenuItem->hFont != NULL )
            DeleteObject( pmyMenuItem->hFont );

         pmyMenuItem->hFont = ( HFONT ) hb_parnl( 3 );
      }
   }
}

Tim,

Windows lets you change the font to use in all the menus (at least it used to be possible, not sure about Win8) but not to change it specifically for an app.

As FiveWin allows owner draw menus, we could look for a way to implement it for just an app, but I don't remember (right now) to have done it before

Antonio,

I didn't even look closely at that. Yes, Menu fonts can be set in the Windows setup in 8. Done ... all OK now.

Thanks
