I am trying to create a dialog box, and have the fonts inside two
controls be something other than the default font.  

My controls look like this:

       CONTROL "Text", ID_CALLSIGN, 5, 52, 94, 21, WC_STATIC, SS_TEXT |
               DT_LEFT | DT_TOP | WS_GROUP | WS_VISIBLE
        CONTROL "", ID_NAMEADDRESS, 107, 47, 114, 27, WC_MLE, MLS_BORDER | 
                WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP | WS_VISIBLE

Can anyone suggest how to tell the Dialog box to display different
fonts?

PS:  OS/2 1.21 and C6.0

Tell the entire Dialog to use a different font in the Dialog definition,
otherwise, send the WM_SETFONT message during the WM_INITDIALOG message.

Is there a chance that someone can demonstrate either of these methods in this
newsgroup?   I have not found any way to do it in the references I have, and as
this is the second time I've seen this type of request, and I have no idea how
to do it, I'd like to see an example.
