Hi,
I'm setting up a menu bar on one of the forms in my application, and I can't find anywhere in VB to change the font of the menu items. I've set the form font to Tahoma and it works for all new controls I bring into the form, but the Menu Bar captions are still in MS Sans Serif. Where can I change that to Tahoma?

I'm using VB 6, Windows 2000.
 
Are you ready?

"THIS BEHAVIOR IS BY DESIGN."

Sorry, couldn't resist. Ok...right click anywhere on your desktop. Select Properties. Select the Appearance tab. In the "Item" dropdown box, select Menu. Change the font to whatever you want. Now, go back to your VB program, and notice that the menu's font has changed.

In other words, Microsoft doesn't want you to control the Menu font, it wants the user to. What if the user had vision problems and had to have a large font, for example?

Hope this helps,

Bob
