Menu Font

#1 Post by omni »

Roger,

We use the standard ownerdraw, but for users with remote access, due to video memory errors, we turn it OFF on the menu and use the standard menu. They complain about the font size. Is there a method to assign the font on non-ownerdraw menu's. (probably is, just cannot find it)

hi,

Ownerdraw use MeasureItem Structur so you can "manipulate" wide/heigh, else it will use "active" Font to "calculate" it.

"measureitem" will be used by every Common Control before o:create()

o:menuBar() is a Part of XbpDialog() and available after oDialog:create() ... too late to manipulate it.

Fred -

Sorry, but ownerdraw is the only way to get the larger fonts, other than setting up the remote computer's desktop appearance to make all menus larger.

BTW - I use teamviewer for remote access and I have not experienced this problem.
