I'm trying to change the fontsize of a dialog control edit box, but it just bold the font of edit box and does not change the size of font and font style but the same code works with the static control why? The Code are that:-

CWnd* pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);
CFont font;
font.CreateFont(20,10,0,1,700,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"Arial");
pWnd->SetFont(&font);

The same code with static control works

CWnd* pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC);
CFont font;
font.CreateFont(20,10,0,1,700,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"Arial");
pWnd->SetFont(&font);

Please Any one can help me...:rose:

Are you aware of (MSDN):

For the MM_TEXT mapping mode, you can use the following formula to specify a height for a font with a specified point size:

lfHeight = -MulDiv(PointSize, GetDeviceCaps(hDC, LOGPIXELSY), 72);

?
If, for instance, your mapping mode is MM_TEXT (the default), and the LOGPIXELSY value is 96, then you have to specify -27 (circa) as nHeight parameter (the first one of CreateFont) to obtain a 20-pixels height font.

I think you need to tell the edit control via the WM_SETFONT message. More information may be found here[^].
