What are the default _WinAPI_CreateFont(...) values

[lrstndm]

I have a Listview in a GUI control.

I'm changing the text font using the _WinAPI_CreateFont(...) method, but when I want to set it back to default I don't know the values.

How can I get these values, or what are the values?

Thanks.

regards,

After guessing some combination I got the default values

_WinAPI_CreateFont(15,6,0,0, 400, False, False, False, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 'Segoe UI')

The default values can vary, depending on what version of Windows is running and what theme is applied (can vary from user to user on the same machine).

It's much better to just save the old font when you switch it.  _WinAPI_SelectObject() returns the pre-existing value that's being over-written, so an example is:

$hOldFont = _WinAPI_SelectObject($hDC, $NewFont)

You only need to do that the first time your script selects a different font.

 

Then, when you're releasing the font you made, you do this:

_WinAPI_SelectObject($hDC, $hOldFont)
_WinAPI_DeleteObject($hNewFont)

This restores the original font to the device context.

Thank you Artisan and FireFox, I will look at it:)
