You're in the
visual studio .net setup
group:Default font in dialog ressources
visual studio .net setup:
Thank you for your answer, but it is not the IDE settings I want to change. I
will try to rephrase: I'm developing an MFC 7.1 based application in Visual Studio C++, using Visual Studio .NET 2003 - but I'm not using managed mode. When I want a new dialog in the application I'm developing I use the ressource editer and choose "Insert Dialog". I can then add buttons, static text fields etc. to this new dialog. The dialog has some default properties (which I can change too) and among them are the dialog font type and size. I can change this font type manually for the dialog but next time I add a dialog I will have to do the same and so on. Here goes my question: Where do I change the default behavior so the default font from the start is the font I have chosen to use in my application dialogs? Hopes this clarifies my question. Thanks, Lasse. [quoted text, click to view] "Wendy Dong" wrote:

The default dialog font and font size is not a part of the CDialog class, but
the dialog template in the .rc file: IDD_SETUP_LIST_WIDE DIALOGEX 0, 0, 121, 81 STYLE DS_SETFONT | WS_POPUP | WS_THICKFRAME FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif", 0, 0, 0x0 BEGIN PUSHBUTTON "x",IDC_BUTTON_1,15,35,90,14 PUSHBUTTON "x",IDC_BUTTON_2,15,49,90,14 LTEXT "x",IDC_DLG_TITLE,4,1,62,18,SS_CENTERIMAGE PUSHBUTTON "X",IDCANCEL,101,3,16,14,BS_ICON GROUPBOX "",IDC_STATIC_2,9,22,103,50 END I'm am aware that you can change the font on an instance of the CDialog class, but as you write, that doen't give me an generic solution. The problem is that we are many programmers working an the same application and it has to be a specific font we use in our dialogs in order to get a correct and readable appearance when it is localized - especially to Japanese, Korean etc. We don't want that everybody should remember to change the font each time they add a new dialog. Thanks for your continues effort to solve my problem. Lasse. [quoted text, click to view] "Peter van der Goes" wrote:

After you "Insert Dialog" in the Resource Editor, are you then creating an extension of the CDialog class to support your resource? If so, you can add the necessary code to the constructor to set the properties in question to what you want, but that doesn't give you the generic solution you seek. -- Peter [MVP Visual Developer] Jack of all trades, master of none.
Hi,
Thank you for your post! From your description, I understand that you would like to change the font of the dialog. For dialog in Visual Studio .NET 2003 IDE, please follow the steps below to change the font. Under "Tools" | "Options" | "Environments" | "Font and Colors", I think we do have the option to change the dialog fonts in VS.Net 2003 IDE. There is a combo box named "Show settings for". We can select the settings for different components of the IDE here: For example, to change the fonts of dialogs, we can select "Dialog and Tool Windows" here. If not for VS 2003 IDE, I think for other dialogs, it depends on coding or system setting.

Do I understand this right: Your advise is to alter the local users settings
in registry at installation time. But what if other applications use this font???? And what if an application installed at a later time also follow your advise and alter the same settings!!!???!!! [quoted text, click to view] "Gary Chang[MSFT]" wrote:

Hi Lasse,
The default dialog font could not be customized in the VS.NET IDE, it is a specific font which mapped into MS Shell Dlg, which can be specified in either the Setup file during the installation process or when customizing a local system by double-clicking Control Panel's Regional Options icon: MS Shell Dlg http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/nls_4q cn.asp So it appears you needn't to change the new inserted dialog's font on the design time. By the way, If you want to change this mapping font at design-time, maybe you can run a helper program to change the font that specified in the corresponding registry subkey or change the MFC wizard dialog template(we don't recommended) directly...

Hi Lasse,
Have I made myself clear this time:-) If you have any more concerns on it, please feel free to post here. Have a nice weekend!
