Can you post a screenshot of your finished design running, Charlie? Just of the pseudo-toolbar, I mean.

Just as a quick aside - and this does NOT answer the original question, but...
When I wanted to spruce up the application menu system, I started using the toolbar class. And if you put a container object inside the toolbar, and put all your menu "objects" inside that container, you can get fine control over placement (give things more or less spacing, etc). From there you can do all the usual events and stuff (like moving/resizing/changing fonts of objects in the "menu" based on events, etc). So you could put text objects (or labels even?) in that container, decorate as desired, trap the click event and call your pop-up menu where you do have better font control, and so on. The toolbar class does NOT have to be used to make "button" type menus.

Thanks for the link, Koen. I'll check that out. Yeah, I vaguely recall learning the main menu font was not able to be changed. This is an area where FoxPro obviously shows its age.

Hi, You cannot change the font in the mainmenu, this object will always take the font you have stipulated in your windows settings. You can change the submenu's font, by changing the .mpr file. Be sure after you have done that not to invoke the default menudesigner anymore as this will reset your fontsettings. An other possibility is to study Yousfi's blog on this subject: http://yousfi.over-blog.com/tag/menu/ Regards, Koen

I see in VFP Help that if you're stick building your app's top positioned (not-pop-up) Menu code by hand, it has a FONT clause. However, I use the good ol' fashioned Menu designer (as clunky as it is). I've introduced the ability for the user to pick the Font s/he wants in my app now and have that working great for the forms UI...but I want to get the top menu using the same Font Name. I realize MESSAGEBOX fonts are a different beast so that's a different time. Here's a screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/kWLEGwE9G
But the VFP menu: I adjusted the MyMenu.MPR file like below: https://www.screencast.com/t/U7ptKp7rrxV
...but that didn't work. Plus, to make it worse, when I rebuilt all files in the project, those font command changes went away.
Ideas?
