ComboBox with Icon and other font

[HurleyShanabarger]

Hello,

I want to use a ComboBox with icons and set the font for the whole combobox, but I it is not working as expected. I created the function _GUICtrlSetFont and added the same parameters as for the standard GUICtrlSetFont function. When the script is run, the size differs - but the same "size" is taken for the function. Can someone explain this?

About set icon to combobox:

 

[HurleyShanabarger]

Thanks @ad777, but that is not what I was asking for.

[ad777]

use   _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create rather than _GUICtrlComboBox_Create to set icon's and use  _GUICtrlSetFont to set font.

And how is this going to help? Please either show me a working solution, an explanation for the behaviour or just stop answering to the topic.

[HurleyShanabarger]

So, after searching around the forum and looking at MSDN I realized, that GUICtrlSetFont takes the font in points, whereas _WinAPI_CreateFont takes the font in logical units. However I found two possible approaches:

• Either using GDI+ to calculate/measure the heigth of the fonts from given points
• or using the formula given on the MSDN entry

  • nHeight = -MulDiv(PointSize, GetDeviceCaps(hDC, LOGPIXELSY), 72);

As the solution with DC is slight more accurate (or similar) to GuiCtrlSetFont I am using this as solution for now:

Func _GUICtrlSetFont($p_hControl = Default, $p_iHeight = Default, $p_iWeight = Default, $p_iAttribute = Default, $p_sgFont = "Tahoma")
        ; Set values
        If $p_iHeight = Default Then $p_iHeight = 8.5
        If $p_iWeight = Default Then $p_iWeight = 400
        If $p_iAttribute = Default Then $p_iAttribute = 0
        Local $boItalic = (BitAND($p_iAttribute, 2) <> 0)
        Local $boUnder = (BitAND($p_iAttribute, 4) <> 0)
        Local $boStrike = (BitAND($p_iAttribute, 8) <> 0)
        Local $iHeight = $p_iHeight

        ; Convert point height to logical unit
        Local $hDC = _WinAPI_GetDC(0)
        Local $_iCap = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hDC, 90)
        _WinAPI_ReleaseDC(0, $hDC)
        $iHeight = -1 * _WinAPI_MulDiv($p_iHeight, $_iCap, 72)

        ; Assign font
        Local $hFnt = _WinAPI_CreateFont($iHeight, 0, 0, 0, $p_iWeight, $boItalic, $boUnder, $boStrike, $DEFAULT_CHARSET, $OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, $CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, $PROOF_QUALITY, 0, $p_sgFont)
        _WinAPI_SetFont($p_hControl, $hFnt, True)
    EndFunc   ;==>_GUICtrlSetFont_Dc

It was also imported to not use  

$ANTIALIASED_QUALITY

but  

$PROOF_QUALITY
