I would like to write my own control in the status bar.
How do i get the status-bar font? I see that between skins it’s a different font.
Thanks.

We recommend you use CExtPaintManager->m_FontNormal. Please note that you should not set this font using CWnd::SetFont() method because it is recreated each time the paint manager or system settings change.

So how can I do it without using SetFont?

If you are going to code a custom control, you don’t have to assign the font to the window. You can simply use the font handle we suggested (e.g., for outputting some text).

It’s not a custom control, it’s a CExtLabel derived class.

Why don’t you simply redraw the status pane by overriding of the CExtStatusControlBar::OnPaintPane() and set the needed pane width using the CExtStatusControlBar::SetPaneWidth() method? We believe that in many cases a handleless UI solution is preferable in comparison with HWND-based windows.

OK.
I dropped this try.
Will just use plain text.
