I have a window with lots of child windows (common controls). How would I go about changing the font for individual buttons, text fields, combo boxes, etc.? -Mike

Thanks, that worked. Another question: How do I simply select a pre-installed font to use? I have found is CreateFont(), but it only seems to be useful for custom fonts.

Check out FindResource(), LoadResource(), FreeResource() and LockResource()
