set the size of the text

sorry for disturbance, chensu
    what i'm using is CPaintDC, so I must use this context to create the text and CPaintDC is not compatible with
HFONT objects... I guess...

Thanks

I discovered that some of the windows standard class (for text display) don't support 'size' but no 'color' while on the other hand support 'color' but no 'size'.... is there a standard class that supports both?

wluck, why did you delete the previous question?  I did not answer it because I wasn't sure that I was sure I was answering what you were asking.  

>> what i'm using is CPaintDC
On the other questin you said you weren't MFC.  Now you are saying you are.  and my answer to the other question had nothing to do with MFC.

>> CPaintDC is not compatible with
>> HFONT objects
You just create the a CFont object using the static CFont::FromHandle() function.  This can be selected into the DC.

This sounds like the question you deleted, that's not the question you are asking here.

sorry, just don't want to confuse everybody... give me a few hours to think about it...and we will resolve the confusion then...

void CMyWnd::OnPaint()
{
    CPaintDC dc(this);
    CFont fnt;
    fnt.CreatePointFont(120, _T("Arial"));
    CFont *pOldFont = dc.SelectObject(&fnt);
    dc.TextOut(0, 0 CString(_T("ABC"));
    dc.SelectObject(pOldFont);
}

How about changing the color of the text at the same time?

Use SetTextColor() and SetBkColor()

Use CDC::SetTextColor, CDC::SetBkColor and CDC::SetBkMode. Try it out.

void CMyWnd::OnPaint()
{
    CPaintDC dc(this);
    CFont fnt;
    fnt.CreatePointFont(120, _T("Arial"));
    CFont *pOldFont = dc.SelectObject(&fnt);
    dc.SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
    dc.SetTextColor(RGB(0, 0, 255));
    dc.TextOut(0, 0 CString(_T("ABC"));
    dc.SelectObject(pOldFont);
}

How about locating the text in the middle of the client area. I've learned one function that does that, but i forgot its name...
Btw, How do I make a button react to a mouse left click actions... I'm a sucker
you know...


Thanks

There really isn't one that does that.  You can use TextOut() at the right coordinates to center the text or you can use DrawText() and specify the DT_CENTER and DT_VCENTER flags while using a rectangle whose dimensions are the window's client area.

>> How do I make a button react to a mouse
>> left click actions
This is really bejond the bounds of the original question.

you can look for the WM_LBUTTONDOWN, WM_LBUTTONUP, and WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK and conver them to the cooresponding right button messages.  That is, pass the message on to the default window procedure specifying the cooresponding right button message instead of the actual message.

need help urgently

the ONLBUTTONDOWN message and a function is in place.The second problem being is how do i make it respond to a user's left click action on an 'ok' button...

Thanks

    dc.SetTextColor(RGB(0, 0, 255));
 
    CRect rect;
    this->GetClientRect(&rect);
    CPoint pt = rect.CenterPoint();

    dc.TextOut(pt.x, pt.y, CString(_T("ABC"));

    dc.SelectObject(pOldFont);
}

Please post a new question on the button issue.
