Hello,

If I set the font of a form and menustrip all the controls and menu
options will show using this font. The only issue I am having is the
text that shows in the caption of the the form (me.text) is not
honoring the font, I'm guesing that it should use the font assigned to
the menu. Does anybody know how to set font for the foms caption?

Thanks,
Rob

You'll want to ask in a dotNet group. All groups on the MS server that start
with "microsoft.public.vb" support VB Classic (pre-dotNet VB)

But... a form's caption font (in VB/Win32) is determined by the users
Display settings... along with the fonts for menus, the widths of
scrollbars, etc, etc... so, they're /not/ "per application" settings.

As far as I know the window title font is set globally - all Windows
application share the same font. If you want a different font then you
would either have to set this Windows title font to a different one (bad
- you should not mess with people's settings) OR remove the title bar of
that window and drawing your own window title.

Best regards,

Martin

AFAIK, form's title bar text is usually based on user's settings which
are accessed through Control Panel -> Display -> Appearance
(Advanved). But there would be chance to implement your own by setting
form style to "None" and create your own title bar with custom buttons
(including X-close and minimize / maximize buttons) and your form
caption that is set by custom font appearing as if it is your form's
title bar caption.
