Window Text Staying Bold

[Maddox]

It seems that in every application that does not use a resource to create its window and uses CreateWindow(Ex) to do it, ends up having its Window Text permanently bold. I've tried setting the font of the window with WM_SETFONT with FW_NORMAL for the font weight but that does not affect it at all.

I can't think of what might be causing it, has anyone else ever had this problem?

Maybe you changed the default caption text style with SystemParametersInfo or the Desktop/Display Control Panel applet?

Then wouldn't it change for a lot of other programs as well? At any rate, I should be able to prevent the window text from being bold.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you made it seem like a system-wide issue.

Silly me, I was sending WM_SETFONT to the parent window thinking it would set the font for all child windows or child windows created thereafter.
