Hi,

I place serveral CExtLabel in my dialog, and I setfont for the CExtLabel like below:

---------------------------------------
class CSPSSelection:public CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog>
....


    LOGFONT lf;
    CFont *pFont;
    memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT));
    lf.lfHeight = 20;
    lf.lfWeight = 700;                        
    lf.lfCharSet = DEFAULT_CHARSET;
    strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "Arial");            
    pFont = CFont::FromHandle(CreateFontIndirect(&lf));
    m_staticBig.SetFont (pFont, false);
-------------------------------------------------------
but m_staticBig display normal size, What is the way to make it bold?

Thanks

There is a bug in the CExtLabel class that causes the problem. Please find the CExtLabel::OnDrawLabelText() method and replace the following line:

lf.lfWeight = m_bFontBold ? FW_BOLD : FW_NORMAL;

with this

if( m_bFontBold )

            lf.lfWeight = 

                        (lf.lfWeight > FW_BOLD) 

                                    ? lf.lfWeight 

                                    : FW_BOLD;

Now you can set a custom font and the weight attribute will not be reset to FW_NORMAL.

First, you need to set a negative value for the lfHeight attribute:

lf.lfHeight = -20;

Second, if you just need to make the static bold, you can use the CExtLabel::SetFontBold() method.

Thank you, It’s works.

By the way, where I can found the help document of SetFontBold?
I can’t find it in Prof-UIS Help.


Thanks.

This method was added recently and it is not yet included in the documentation. The updated documentation will be available soon.
