Changing default font for controls

[zakman]

Is there a way to change the default font from "MS Sans Serif" to something else when creating controls for a form?

I don't mean changing the Font property after the control has been created.

Thanks!

You could create an Active-X control that has just one command button on it. Change the font of the button, and then use that control instead of the regular button. If you want your button to behave the same as other buttons in every other respect, consider using the Active-X wizard (available through the Addin Manager)...that way you won't have to write any code at all.

OK, when you are creating a new form in VB6, each control that you place on the form has a default font setting of "MS Sans Serif". Suppose that I want "Arial" to be the default. Right now, I place the control on the form, then change to "Arial" in the control's font property. I'm trying to find a way to keep from doing this all the time.

There must be a setting somewhere in VB that controls this, or maybe this is a suggestion for the next version of VB?

Thanks!

Simply change the font property of the form on which you are placing controls. All controls you place on that form from now on will inherit font name, size, and attributes.

Hope this helps

Hmmm, that helps quite a bit, however, we would still
like to be able to have new forms default to "arial"
instead of "ms sans serif". For now, we'll just change
the font on each form before creating controls.

Thank you!
