¯ At runtime:
¯
¯ char szFont[] = "8.Courier";
¯ WinSetPresParam (hwndListbox, PP_FONTNAMESIZE, strlen (szFont) + 1, szFont);
¯
¯ or in your resource file:
¯
¯ LISTBOX         IDD_LISTBOX, 5, 22, 354, 119, LS_MULTIPLESEL |
¯                 LS_HORZSCROLL | LS_EXTENDEDSEL | WS_GROUP
¯                 PRESPARAMS PP_FONTNAMESIZE, "8.Courier"
¯

¯
¯ Use an ownerdrawn listbox. You can find several examples in BBS'es:
¯ HUGELB.ZIP, LSTBX1.ZIP, LSTBX2.ZIP, DLGHIGH.ZIP.

Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking for.. I'll look around for
those Ownerdrawn listboxes and see what I can come up with..
