Re: Default Font Bolded

I've used SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS with SystemParametersInfo() to get a default GUI font in the past.  Something like this:

NONCLIENTMETRICS ncm;
ncm.cbSize = sizeof( ncm );
SystemParametersInfo( SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, ncm.cbSize, &ncm, 0 );
ncm.lfCaptionFont.lfWeight = FW_NORMAL;
HFONT hFont = CreateFontIndirect( &(ncm.lfCaptionFont) );


This creates non-bold Tahoma in WinXP and Segoe UI in Win7.
