Hi there, I've got a really strange problem with my app that no one seems to be able to figure out: I use dialog boxes, which are defined in resource files. When I call these dialog boxes from my app, the font which the dialog uses is not the same as I define in the resource. If I look at Microsofts Dialog Editor, they are as I defined. If I change the font in the editor, the program still uses the system font, instead of Arial, courier, whatever I specify. But it gets worse... In these dialog boxes, about 50% of the time, static text controls are NOT visible, and when you type into edit controls, the characters you type are NOT visible, although the cursor is moving, and if you to a GetDlgItemText, you'll find that the correct info is in the control. AND if you populate a list box, only some lines are visible, the rest are blank. Once again, if you retrieve the text in a given line, the results are correct. But even more fun. Once you kill the dialog box, the repaint uses the system font, even though the rest of the window may be in different font, making life completely unbearable! I'm totally out of ideas, and I have until 1/15 to fix the problem. CAN SOMEONE HELP??? Please e-mail me, as my newsreader is VERY unreliable!!! THANX!!!
