SetFont Problem

[rhuckle]

Hi

i have 1 window called w and 3 dialogs called d1, d2 and d3

i tried every method to get the static text within the d1 dialog to set size say to 18 but it remains nomal size if i hoever have font set to the window which is w, the buttons text will change but this is not what im wanting im trying to change the dialog windows only not the window as that does not contain text it is just the container for the dialogs and buttons that open the dialogs

the static text is set via the contol my code is

'Main Window

OPENWINDOW w,0,0,800,600,@size,null,"Main Window",&wproc
CONTROL w,@button,"About",50,530,80,25,@tabstop,1

CONTROL w,@button,"Compiler",250,530,80,25,@tabstop,3
CONTROL w,@button,"Exit",660,530,80,25,@tabstop,4

The dialog and controls are not really created until DoModal or ShowDialog is called.  You initialize your controls, including changing their fonts, in reponse to the @IDINITDIALOG message in your handler.

This is outlined in the users guide btw.
