menu fonts

Is it possible to specify menu fonts in the menu designer? It can be done in
code. Except for the pads, which remain at the system-specified settings.

What am I doing wrong?

Not without resorting to some trickery. You can a FONT clause in the menu
designer by using the Message space under options like this: "" FONT
"Arial",14

You need the empty set of quotes so the Message clause thinks it's complete.

Be aware that this makes your menus *very* non-standard to any other
application.

Thanks.

It would have been nice to get object menus in VFP9, but given the choice
between that and upgraded reporting, I'll take the reporting!

Hi Paul:

I am not sure it this will help, but look at the example of altering fonts
in a VFP menu found in this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;130657

I hope this helps.

Not really ..... the menu designer is just a tool that writes code. You're
telling it to write a little extra. <g>

VFP 9.0 release. Hint: Check later at =
