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

    hi

    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...

    Well

    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"
    Remaining quiet down here !!!
