Hi ,

Can anyone tell me how to set the font of a owner drawn CButton in MFC? I tried this but it looks like the font is being set several times?

MIDL

CFont Font; //Member Vaiable of the class.

Font.CreatePointFont(120, _T("Courier"));        // creates a 12-point-Courier-font

            GetDlgItem(drawItem->CtlID)->SetFont(&Font);         //

I am doing the Font.CreatePointFont and SetFont inside OnDrawItem of the class.

Can you please tell me whats going wrong here?

Thanks

You should probably try setting the font in the OnPaint event for the button.
