You need to do it in response to the WM_PAINT message, where you have full control of what is drawn in the window. The WM_SETTEXT message merely sends some text to be managed by the paint handler.

is it possible use CreateFontIndirect in WM_PAINT

Yes. Although it may be better to create your fonts elsewhere at the beginning of your application. It all depends on the actual usage.

last question
when change font size example from 8pt to 23pt the window not extend and some characters not be shown in static control

Then you need to do one of the following:
1. Add scrollbars to allow the content of the Window to be moved.
2. Resize the Window (with the MoveWindow function) to make it big enough to show all the content. Note, in this case make sure the Window does not get too big for its parent.

Sir,is it possible to put simple code to do ?

I have given some suggestions in your latest post at How to extend window class #32770[^].

As to your question, there is not 'simple code'. Filling Windows controls with text or images, is more complicated than printf, as you are responsible for the positioning and formatting of the text. You also need to check that the text will fit inside the client portion of the control, and whether scroll bars will be necessary.
