fonts in menus

Hello!

In VFP 9 it is possible to use fonts in menus with the new FONT parameter in
the DEFINE PAD and DEFINE BAR commands. This is a great feature, but it
doesn´t work. If I lokk into the VFP9 helpfile I find this text:

"The FONT clause is ignored for menu titles added to the Visual FoxPro
system
menu _MSYSMENU. Note that the Menu Designer uses the Visual FoxPro system
menu."

How can I use the font feature? I thought I must use the _MSYSMENU!


Thanks.

You cannot change the fonts of the system menu BARS. You can change them for
the items under the system menu bars.

But you really shouldn't. These take their settings from the Windows control
panel, which is controlled by the user.
