Hi,
Is it possible to change the font of a CExtLabel on the CView derived class?
At first, I made the control as CStatic, creating font and setfont, the label shown well.
After change the control as CExtLabel, nothing is appeared on the control.
If the font setting code is commented, the text appeared.

What’s wrong with me?

Regards,
jb.

We failed to reproduce this bug. We used the following code for testing:

CExtLabel m_wndLabel;

...

m_wndLabel.Create(
    _T("Some Text"),
    WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD,
    CRect(300,300,400,400),
    this
    );
m_wndLabel.SetFont( &g_PaintManager->m_FontBold );

Would you send us a test project that demonstrates the problem?

Your code works.

But, I wanna use custom font for the control. for example,

    CFont font;
    VERIFY(font.CreateFont(
     theAppSetting->get_setting("View", "FontHeight", 13), // nHeight
     0, // nWidth
     0, // nEscapement
     0, // nOrientation
     FW_NORMAL, // nWeight
     FALSE, // bItalic
     FALSE, // bUnderline
     0, // cStrikeOut
     ANSI_CHARSET, // nCharSet
     OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // nOutPrecision
     CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // nClipPrecision
     DEFAULT_QUALITY, // nQuality
     DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_SWISS, // nPitchAndFamily
     theAppSetting->get_setting("View", "FontName", "굴림체").c_str())); // lpszFacename
    m_Title.SetFont(&font);

You created the CFont object on the stack. The font variable is local in the scope of the method where you set the font. That means it will be destroyed after the method completes. You should create the CFont object dynamically or declare it in the class declaration section.
