Re: Why not use form's ParentFont for Vista?

Matthew,

Setting ParentFont to True on the main form does not work for me. It still doesn't pickup the system font.

In answer to your first question, the main form does not have a parent form, so setting ParentFont to True doesn't make a lot of sense. In my case, setting this property doesn't do anything either.

I made a small test program that just printed the name of the font for the main form. I ran that under 98 or NT4 and it showed a different font than when run under XP.

I didn't change the system font on XP but I'll try that and let you know.

I don't expect this to track a system font change while the program is running (and can't say I'm real concerned about that either). I write mainly low-volume engineering software. If I were doing a high-volume shrink-wrap application (like Skype!) then I would be concerned about this.
