how to change menu bar font programmatically

[Steffen.Schmidt]

Hi all,

I want to change the font and the font size of a menu bar programmatically. Therefore I thought I should use the following function:

<<SetMenuBarAttribute (panelMenuBarHandle, Menu_FILE, ATTR_MENU_BAR_FONT, VAL_EDITOR_META_FONT);>>

and the same for changing the size.

But I get permanent error (return value -46, the attribute passed is not valid). Changing size and font in the user interface editor and saving changes in the uir-file is no problem!

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

Forgot to inform you about the version of CVI: it's 8.0.1 on a Win2K system.

I believe that you can only change the font for the whole menu bar, so perhaps it would be better to pass 0 as the second parameter rather than Menu_FILE.

That's it - thanks Martin!
