how to change font of dialog title in mfc application

Roshni 21

I want to change font of all the dialog elements of a MFC application including menu and title bar, without effecting icons and close button on the title bar.

overriding WM_NCPAINT requires title bar to be repainted. is it posible to change only font of title bar of mfc application without requiring to draw icon & close button

Hi @Roshni,

You need to paint the entire non-client area of the window, which is achieved by handling the WM_NCPAINT message. This is a very complicated task, I suggest you to refer to Castorix31's reply or use Winform.
