Vincent,

You have to SET the font variable (like Set dockingPaneFont = Item.value) where Item.value is the variable of StdFont (in your case TextFont)
 
This is what I do for Pane Caption:
 
Case "Pane font"
            Dim dockingPaneFont As StdFont
            Set dockingPaneFont = Item.value(this is the value of a PropertyGridItem (FONT)
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.PaintManager.CaptionFont = dockingPaneFont.Name
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.PaintManager.CaptionFont.Size = dockingPaneFont.Size
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.PaintManager.CaptionFont.Bold = dockingPaneFont.Bold
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.PaintManager.CaptionFont.Italic = dockingPaneFont.Italic
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.PaintManager.CaptionFont.Underline = dockingPaneFont.Underline
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.RedrawPanes
and for the Pane Tabs
 
        Case "Pane tab font"
            Dim dockingPaneTabs As StdFont
            Set dockingPaneTabs = Item.value
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.TabPaintManager.Font = dockingPaneTabs.Name
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.TabPaintManager.Font.Size = dockingPaneTabs.Size
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.TabPaintManager.Font.Bold = dockingPaneTabs.Bold
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.TabPaintManager.Font.Italic = dockingPaneTabs.Italic
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.TabPaintManager.Font.Underline = dockingPaneTabs.Underline
            frmMain.DockingPaneManager.RedrawPanes

Hi Aaron,
 
Did that but no luck, no change.
 
Related question; is it possible to have a different font for the captionbars and the tabbutton labels? There are two properties; one for the captionbar and one for the button label.

Hi,
 
You have to call DockingPaneManager.RedrawPanes before the changes take effect.

I have troubles getting the font properties of the DockingPanePaintManager or the TabPaintManager to work.

When I use them from Visual DataFlex the font is not set but even worse any COM message after setting the font results in weird behavior. For example the dispatch ID that needs to be returned from CreatePane returns TRUE instead of a dispatch id.
 
So I tried the VB.NET MDISample to see what is happening there and the following code inserted before "Uncomment to Test it" has no effect on the results.
 
Dim TextFont As stdole.StdFont
TextFont = New stdlole.StdFont
TextFont.Name = "Lucida Handwriting Italic"
TextFont.Size = 15
TextFont.Bold = True
MDIDockingPaneManager.TabPaintManager.Font = TextFont
MDIDockingPaneManager.PanelPaintManager.Font = TextFont
 
I've also tried other less exotric font names like "Verdana"
 
I am using the 11.2.1 version.
 
What could be wrong?
