CFontHolder::GetFontHandle

Call this function to get a handle to a Windows font.

HFONT GetFontHandle( ); 
HFONT GetFontHandle( 
   long cyLogical, 
   long cyHimetric  
);

Parameters

  • cyLogical
    Height, in logical units, of the rectangle in which the control is drawn.

  • cyHimetric
    Height, in MM_HIMETRIC units, of the control.

Return Value

A handle to the Font object; otherwise NULL.

Remarks

The ratio of cyLogical and cyHimetric is used to calculate the proper display size, in logical units, for the font's point size expressed in MM_HIMETRIC units:

Display size = (cyLogical / cyHimetric) X font size

The version with no parameters returns a handle to a font sized correctly for the screen.

Requirements

Header: afxctl.h
