I'm sure its been cover but i didn't find anything. is it possible to change the font size in a message box or is it totally dependant upon windows settings?

Hi Kaso. I tried the below code and was able to change font size. BTW, it was in the manual.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate ("My GUI default font") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$font="Comic Sans MS"
GUISetFont (9, 400, 4, $font); will display underlined characters
GUICtrlCreateLabel ("underlined label",10,20)

GUISetFont (9, 400, 2, $font); will display underlined characters
GUICtrlCreateLabel ("italic label", 10,40)

GUISetFont (9, 400, 8, $font); will display underlined characters
GUICtrlCreateLabel ("strike label",10,60)

GUISetState ()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

You are correct Kaso -- the text size of a Windows message box is entirely dependent on Windows settings and there is no way to adjust this on a per-box basis.

Your best bet is to adopt Mikey's suggestion and assemble a GUI made for the purpose. You can then use your own sizes, styles, icons, placements, button labels etc.

yeah thats what i thought. I have yet to try GUI's but as I can see they are impressive. Thats my new project to learn how to make them use gui's instead of inputbox and msgbox. Thanks Mikey I did see that gui font thing but it doesn't work for msgbox.

Sorry Kaso, as you can see I'm a newb. You needed it for 'msgbox', not 'dialogbox'. I hope I didn't sound condescending when I mentioned it was in the manual, I'm sure you did a search in the manual as well.
