How to set the font of an edit using just the Window handle?

[richardchaven]

I am messing with a TTreeView (yes, I know, but I'm not going to use an alternative). I want to have the .Font apply to the embedded edit control.

I can "override" the WndProc and do the painting myself, but the text caret does not align to the correct character and the control itself is too narrow when the I choose to paint a node's text in bold, italic, etc.

I finally found WM_SETFONT, but it does not seem to work when I Post it to the edit control's handle in response to the TVN_BEGINLABELEDIT message.

Any ideas?

Cheers
