ATTR_MENU_BAR_FONT
| Type: | Menu attribute |
| Description: | The name of the font for the menu bar. To determine the size of the buffer to pass when you are obtaining the font name, call GetMenuBarAttribute and specify the ATTR_MENU_BAR_FONT_NAME_LENGTH attribute. You can use a LabWindows/CVI-supplied font; any host font—such as Arial or Courier—supported on your system; or a user-defined metafont saved by a previous call to functions such as CreateMetaFont and CreateMetaFontEx. Note: LabWindows/CVI returns an error if you use a metafont that specifies an angle for the text. Always set the font before setting the size or style. |
