Changing font size in ComboBox?

[Alberto Villarroel]

I have a ComboBox is created with "Create" and not as a resource. In
that ComboBox I wan't to use a small font. I searched around in MSDN and
found an example of using the SetFont member function. When I use that
code the ComboBox gets vertically smaller, resembling the new "font"
size. But the text in the ComboBox remains still the default size. How
do I change the size of the text items. Code below follows:

combo.Create(WS_VISIBLE|CBS_SIMPLE |CBS_HASSTRINGS |CBS_AUTOHSCROLL
|CBS_DROPDOWN |
0, CRect(0, 0, 100,00),
this,IDC_COMBO);

// Setting the FONT text, found in MSDN
// Set the font
CFont m_font;
LOGFONT lf; // Used to create the CFont.

memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT)); // Clear out structure.
lf.lfHeight = 15; // Request a 20-pixel-high font
strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "Arial"); // with face name "Arial".
m_font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf); // Create the font.
combo.SetFont(&m_font, TRUE);

Any help is appreciated

Alberto,

The font needs to exist for as long as the control using it. The
normal solution is to make the CFont variable a member variable of the
class that is the parent of the control you're using it with.
