SAMPLE: PRPFONT - How to Set CPropertySheet FontsID: Q142170
|
PRPFONT shows how to set the desired font for your CPropertyPages in the Resource Editor, and at run-time, set the sheet's font to be the same and size everything correctly. All of this is done in a class called CMySheet. A function called ChangeDialogFont() does the work of setting the font and resizing windows. CPropertySheet::BuildPropPageArray() was overridden so that the fonts in the pages are not reset.
In versions of Visual C++ earlier than 4.0, MFC had its own implementation
of CPropertySheet. You could set the font for your CPropertySheet by
setting the font of your first CPropertyPage dialog box resource in the
Resource Editor. At run time, the sheet would use the font that you set and
size everything according to the font. Starting with Visual C++ 4.0, MFC
uses the Windows 95 PropertySheet control. This control will always use the
system font for the sheet. This is by design. MFC will also force the pages
to use the same font as the sheet. This is done in a function called
BuildPropPageArray(). Because this is an undocumented function, it may
change or be deleted in future versions of MFC.
CMySheet will use the font of the first active CPropertyPage to set the
font and size of the CPropertySheet and its child windows. The
CPropertyPages will appear with the font specified in the resource editor.
