Inputbox Default Font


Recommended Posts

I've determined how to ResHack* AutoIt to change the font of Msg and Input boxes, but is there a way to do this directly in the source code? Is the Aut2exe code available, for that matter?

* Steps to change the Arial 8pt font:

1) Using upx, decompress AutoIt.exe

2) Using ResHacker to edit the "Dialog : 1000 : 2057" resource, change the FONT 8, "Arial" to something else.

Not sure what you mean. You mean make it arial for everyone or what? I don't think we need _another_ parameter on InputBox - it's at 9 already... :whistle:

Source code to Aut2Exe is available, but it doesn't do anything to the exe (seems odd I know). If you want to change the font for all versions for yourself then rename AutoItSC.bin to AutoItSC.exe and reshack that then rename back to .bin then all your compiled scripts will use those settings. B)

Neat trick Jon :whistle: Thanks

Question about decompiling code? Read the decompiling FAQ and don't bother posting the question in the forums.

Almost forgot about this thread!

It appears that FONT 8, "Arial" is hard-coded somewhere in the MsgBox code. If so, where is it in the source code? Message boxes from other programs use my Window's font which is Tahoma....
