    Retrieving font information

    I am trying to retrieve (from unmanaged code) the font information from
    windows within a .NET application using SendMessage( hEnd, WM_GETFONT, 0,
    0 ).. However the return value is NULL every time....:-(

    Does anyone know whether this is actually possibly, or is it just a bug
    within Windows forms?

    Thanks in advance...

    Mike

      Are you sure it does not use the system font?
      This is from the WM_GETFONT documentation:
      "The return value is a handle to the font used by the control, or NULL if the
      control is using the system font."

          Yes, I am sure.
          I am using a sample application that I wrote so I can change the font on the
          form design view.
