I am trying to set the font of my RichEdit control so that only any new text
will be foramtted with the new font. I am using this at the moment:
SendMessage(mHwndDisplay, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)lFont, false);
but this causes all text already within the control to be set with this font
too. How can I avoid this?
Thanks
Allan

Hmm, this requires a CHARFOMRAT structure, wheras I am using
CreateFontInderect and just have a HFONT. Is there a way I can convert from
the HFONT to the CHARFORMAT?

Thanks,
Allan

Hmm, this requires a CHARFOMRAT structure, wheras I am using
CreateFontInderect and just have a HFONT and a LOGFONT. Is there a way I
can convert from
the HFONT or LOGFONT to the CHARFORMAT?

CHARFORMAT takes a few of the same parameters as LOGFONT but it's a lot
easier to use. Why wouldn't you prefer to use it, especially since it
has a capability the WM_SETFONT with an HFONT lacks?

easily write one, or transfer the relevant members manually on the

As an easy out, try using EM_getcharformat to grab the current font
settings into the CHARFORMAT, then copy over the font's face name from
the LOGFONT and send it back with EM_setcharformat. That should change
the font only. All other properties, such as size, bold etc.. should
be preserved as they were with the previous font, so if you want some
of those changed as well, you'll have to copy those over too and set
the relevant flags before sending it back.

I use LOGFONT as I am using the ChooseFont() API for the user to select a
font.

I have written a conversion between the two, however when I send an
EM_SETCHARFORMAT it still changes the whole RichEdit font, whether I use 0,
SF_ALL, SF_SELECTION, SF_DEFAULT as the wParam. Do you think I could copy
all the selection already in the RichEdit, then set the font, then paste my
selection back?
Thanks,
Allan

You can copy the necessary values from the LOGFONT to a CHARFORMAT.
