skn3,

I'm not sure what message 0x444 (1024+68) refers to. I couldn't find it, and consequently I couldn't look up lparam or wparam.

But... what's wrong with something like this?

;.lib "user32.dll"
;SendMessageBank2%(hwnd,msg,wParam,lParam):"SendMessageA"

Const WM_SETFONT = 48

Global fntWing = LoadFont("Wingdings", 24)
Global fntArial = LoadFont("Arial", 12)
Global wndMain = CreateWindow("SetFont Example", 400, 300, 600, 300, 0, 1)
Global tarMain = CreateTextArea(0,0,ClientWidth(wndMain),ClientHeight(wndMain),wndMain,0)

SetTextAreaText(tarMain, "Testing..." + Chr(10) + "Testing again...")
Api_SetTextAreaFont(tarMain, fntWing)
Delay 1000
Api_SetTextAreaFont(tarMain, fntArial)

While WaitEvent() <> $803 : Wend

Function Api_SetTextAreaFont(textarea, fnt)
	Return SendMessageBank2(QueryObject(textarea,1), WM_SETFONT, QueryObject(fnt,3), 0)
End Function

(Look up "WM_SETFONT" in the Windows User Interface: Platform SDK docs of MSDN.)
