Hi Oleg,

You were correct. I did not have myFont as a member of CAboutDlg. Thanks for setting me straight. It now works great!

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for your quick response! I tried what you suggested and I was still unable to have the title underlined AND in bold. This is what I used in the ListCtrl_vc60 sample program, in the AboutDlg.h file:

CFont myFont;
NONCLIENTMETRICS ncm = { sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS) };
VERIFY(::SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS), &ncm, 0));
ncm.lfSmCaptionFont.lfWeight = FW_BOLD;
ncm.lfSmCaptionFont.lfUnderline = 1;
myFont.CreateFontIndirect(&ncm.lfSmCaptionFont);

then...

#ifdef _XTP_INCLUDE_CONTROLS
  // set the title text to bold font.
  m_txtTitle.SetFont( &myFont );
  //  m_txtTitle.SetFont( &XTAuxData().fontBold );
...

All I get is the new font in bold, without the underline. Suggestions?

You must create new font

NONCLIENTMETRICS ncm = { sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS) };

VERIFY(::SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS), &ncm, 0));

ncm.lfSmCaptionFont.lfWeight = FW_BOLD;

ncm.lfSmCaptionFont.lfUnderline = 1;

font.CreateFontIndirect(&ncm.lfSmCaptionFont);

I'm trying to set the Title to be in BOLD font and UNDERLINED but don't know how to make this work. I can get one or the other, but not both. Any help would be appreciated!

// set the title text to bold font.
m_Title.SetFont( &XTAuxData().fontBold );
m_Title.SetFont( &XTAuxData().fontULine );

In the instance above, whatever line is last is the one that works. In this example, the font is does not display as BOLD, but only UNDERLINED. Can they be ORd together? If so, how?
