How do I change the text height of the static label?
It defaults at 13 and I need 8. I've looked everywhere in the API and I know I'm just missing it.

At runtime use CreateFont and SendMessage WM_SETFONT

From silly example

Code Select

...
	hFont = CreateFont(nSize, 0, 0, 0, FW_BOLD, 0, 0, 0, ANSI_CHARSET, 0, 0, 0, 0, TEXT("Ariel"));
	SendDlgItemMessage(hwndDlg, 4001, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hFont, TRUE);
...

Try also
SendDlgItemMessage(hwndDlg, 4001, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)GetStockObject(ANSI_VAR_FONT), TRUE);

Thanks Again. The explanation and the sample zip file worked wonders for my learning.
