The SelectFont macro selects a font object into the specified device context (DC). The new font object replaces the previous font object.
Syntax
HFONT SelectFont(
HDC hdc,
HFONT hfont
);
Parameters
hdc
A handle to the DC.
hfont
A handle to the font object to be selected. The font object must have been created using either CreateFont or CreateFontIndirect.
Return value
Type: HFONT
If SelectFont succeeds, the return value is a handle to the font object being replaced. If an error occurs, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
After an application has finished drawing with the new font object, it should always replace a new font object with the original font object.
The SelectFont macro is equivalent to calling SelectObject as follows:
((HFONT) SelectObject((hdc), (HGDIOBJ)(HFONT)(hfont)))
