Can you post a screenshot of your finished design running, Charlie?  Just of the pseudo-toolbar, I mean. On 5/20/2019 9:30 AM, Charlie-gm wrote: Just as a quick aside - and this does NOT answer the original question, but... When I wanted to spruce up the application menu system, I started

Hi, You cannot change the font in the mainmenu, this object will always take the font you have stipulated in your windows settings. You can change the submenu's font, by changing the .mpr file. Be sure after you have done that not to invoke the default menudesigner anymore as this will reset your f

If you're going to be using _MSYSMENU, I think the following applies: "The FONT and STYLE clauses at each level were added in VFP 3. These clauses let you decide what font to use when you're not working with the system menu. The system menu picks up its font settings from the Registry and ignores

When you adjust the MPR then regenerate, the code is not in the MNX so it will not add it into the MPR. You can try to use one of the special clauses in the MNX to put the font setting in there, basically fooling it, but I feel that Windows always uses the Windows font settings for menus so it
