I have a multilingual application. When I am loading strings from DLLs, their font size is very small. How can I increase the font size?
Can anyone tell me please ?
Thank you.

Does it matter where the string is loaded from? Isn't the size dependent on the characteristics of the font face used to display text? Have a look at CFont::CreateFont()[^] (mfc usage assumed).

Code is there, Sir, though I already said to you, the font is very very small... Big Grin | :-D

I want to know how to workout that message box in C++.

Thanks a lot.

Can you use CreateProcess to launch the exe and pass the result that you want to display as a command line argument.
See here[^]

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

File -> New -> Projects->Win32 Console Application

-> A simple application

now change the generated code as follows

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <Windows.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	::MessageBox(NULL,"Hello World!","Msgbox",MB_OK);
	return 0;
}

The real question is, why will you ever need such a thing? I am assuming that there's some kind of a lengthy operation (in place of that message box) and that blocks your UI. You would be better off using a thread in that case. Do I need to mention that a process is way much more expensive than a thread from the view of the OS?

A simple method, create a member variable in App class (an array or list) use this variable as if global to all views.
