NotePad Font.

hi,

If I set font in notepad to say tahoma, then whenever I open any file in Notepad, it displays it using this font.okay?

now I am opening a file in notepad using shellexecute from VB...and I want to change the font to say arial, how do I do it?


Any help??


Thanks

you could use SendKeys to send the keystrokes that would change it...... ?????
No guarantee it will though.....
just a thought....

Thanks for reply....but actually that would be quite cumbersome and error prone...becuase I have just given an example abt fixed fontnames...they would keep chaning depending on other criterias...I was hoping there would some api for it...

After searching, the only method I have found mention would to be to try the keys in the registry :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad]
"lfWeight"=dword:00000190
"lfFaceName"="Arial"

hey thanks!

Thats worth a try
