Set menu font and/or size

[BarryG]

Can I please suggest an official command to set the menu font and/or size? Thanks.

If anyone has an API way in the meantime, please feel free to shoot me the technique.

On Windows, there's no API or other official way to do this. Even other languages can't do this. I guess you'll have to do this by hand (good ol' canvas).

Whaaat? Menu font sizes can't be changed?

[Rinzwind]

Good too. To keep the little consistency Windows apps have (mostly because they use old controls) intact. It is a system setting.

You can use an OWNERDRAW menu if you want to, but it's not that easy. For example: viewtopic.php?p=449320#p449320

Reason for asking was because a user said the standard menus of my app are too small to read on his ultra-big monitor, so I thought the size could be easily changed. Amazed that they can't without owner-drawing, or without changing system-wide settings for it.

Thanks for the link, Fred. It doesn't look like too much work to convert over, as most of the PureBasic menu commands are still used.

but the other apps are showing normal menus ? Because PB uses standard menu, so it should be the same. If you use ImageMenu, try with standard menu to see if it makes any diff

Let him change the font size in system settings.
