This has to be the dumbest question ever asked but I am going nuts trying to work it out. I am using Visual C++ 6 for the first time. Everything is fine but all I want to do is have the text ( "static text" ) at the top of my form in large font size at design stage. There appears to be no mechanism for this in properties that I can see. Nor can I find anything on Google ... surely I don't have to do this programatically while running?
