WM_FONTCHANGE - bug in Outlook Express?

Hi,
This is my whole application.:)

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Ā  SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,WM_FONTCHANGE,0,0);
end;

What's wrong with it?

Run on XP SP2. Launched Outlook Express.
Each time I press a button1, the buttons on Outlook Express toolbar are getting wider and wider.
Can You test it? is it the same?
What can i do?

Thanks.

What are you actually trying to achieve here? The message you are sending wiill brodcast a system wide message thet the base font size for the desktop has changed. There may be a bug in OE that isn't responding to this properly

regards
Having tested it on my XP2 OE no it doesn't happen

>>What are you actually trying to achieve here?
It is of course a part of a bigger application.
I've stripped everything to be sure where is the problem.

Anybody else tested it?
will try at home and let you know, I have your same configuration

I'll be waiting for some time yet.
I'm interested also on tests on other configurations.

Maybe it has something to do with localized version of OE.
