I embedded some comboboxes on to my toolbar,(i.e. the toolbar is their parent) but I don't like the font used to display string in the boxes. The font used is too bold and too large. How can I change the combobox's font? What message do I handle?

Solution 2

CFont m_font;
LOGFONT lf;
memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT));
lf.lfHeight = 15;                  
strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "Arial");
m_font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
combo.SetFont(&m_font, TRUE);
