SC Team - I have been trying to select the default font used by the chart text into GDI based text objects and so far not successful. Would you please let me know if there is any way I can get the same text into the GDI text font? Appreciate any input ( please don't mark it as User discussion ). Even better if you can update the default GDI example study to include this text font ). Just wanted to "avoid" creating a font for this and use Chart Text font by default for this ( indirect font). I tried the following but no use. SelectObject(hdc, GetStockObject(DEFAULT_GUI_FONT)); //SelectObject(hdc, GetStockObject(DEVICE_DEFAULT_FONT)); //SelectObject(hdc, GetStockObject(ANSI_FIXED_FONT)); //SelectObject(hdc, GetStockObject(OEM_FIXED_FONT)); //SelectObject(hdc, GetStockObject(SYSTEM_FONT)); Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-06-21 16:35:22

If I use the createFont option to create the required font, I do get the desired(somewhat) effect but the size doesn't match. Wanted to avoid this createfont object if possible and use the charttext font somehow if it is available for GDI function. Would you please see if you can support the function - WM_GETFONT - which might help in this case? Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-06-22 06:02:39
