Hi All,
i have found an example project called clock, which is almost perfect for something I need.
All I want to do is increase the font size and make it bold.
I have looked through the files but cannot see how to change these 2 properties.
I am not a C programmer but dabbled, many years ago with VB and expected to be able to find these 2 properties quite easily. if someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

If you have the source as a pelles C project...
Go into Project -> Zip Project Files and then attach the result to a message in the beginner's section so we can see what you've got.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I got the file from
http://www.pellesc.de/index.php?page=source&lang=en&group=3
I have attached the project file as you asked
I look forward to finding out how to solve this problem

In MainDlgProc create font for it:
...
static HFONT hFont;
...
case WM_INITDIALOG:
hFont = CreateFont(18, -18, 0, 0, 700, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, TEXT("Arial"));
SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwndDlg, txt_Time), WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hFont, FALSE);
...
case WM_CLOSE:
...
DeleteObject(hFont);
...

Next time please follow instructions ...
Go to your menu ... Project -> Zip Files ... attach the resulting zip file to your message.
Also, as a beginner, you should probably read ...
THIS (http://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=4644.msg17797#msg17797)
Starting off with other peoples code, in a Windows GUI program is not the way to learn C.
In any case, a copy of the example is attached with a nice big clock... it was simply a matter of changing the font size in the dialog box resource.
