Hello,
Does anybody know how to change the default font and font size for an EditText in Judiths IDE?
It seems that I saw that somewhere in IDE.
By the way what is the default font and font size for EditTexts in IDE.
The reason for all this is because that when I run my WinXP programs in Windows 7 the EditTexts are too small and very hard to read.
What is the solution? Does anybody know?

Don: More than likely she used win32lib's EzCreateFont() to create the font so if you find where she setup the font in her code; you should be able to change her parameters to that function.

There is a Win32Lib routine called:
setCreateFont ( sequence faceName, atom points, object attrib, atom color )
which you can call in the general or intro sections of your program; it will affect all control fonts, I guess. I used it some while ago to make a program more easily used, and I think it changed every control. Try it and see....

Thank you Zebra and Andy,
You put me on the right track.
For what it's worth:
In Judith's IDE the default EditText font is "MS Sans Serif",7,Normal.
If you go down lower than 7 (6,5,4 etc...) nothing changes in IDE.
When switching from XP to Windows 7, you find your XP programs hard to read then,
Change to setFont(myEditText,"MS Sans Serif",7,Normal+Bold)
To change the size of of all the EditTexts or any Control,
You must Create a new Project.
Go to Options\Configure IDE\Values Used To Create A New Control.
And click on the Control you want to change. Click Save.
From then on any new controls created will be new size.
When finished it is a good idea to change back to default size of the Control here.
