set font using TextOut or ExtTextOut

I need to "paint" text "over" a bitmap.

Using the tsay() classes I get white background. If I use the TextOut functions I can successfully paint my text. My question is, I want to control the font before I TextOut.

How can I do this?

Re: dbfntx very slow with 2+ users

That's an odd topic. for reading files either individually or especially en masse Mediator is faster than DBF, especially with 2+ users. If I use sql commands like SELECT * etc, Mediator is very fast. the coding is 99% harbour compatiable using conventional programming syntax. i've had good luck wit...

dbfntx very slow with 2+ users

My applications that utilize DBFNTX run really fast with one user and really slow with 2 or more users logged in at the same time.

Has anyone experienced this?

Harbour 3.2.0
BCC 5.82
Fivewin version 13.02

Thanks in Advance.

My child windows require clicking the close "X" button to shut them down.

how can I make the escape key shut down/close each MDICHILD windows without having to touch the mouse?

thank you

Re: Address of Function in My EXE

this does return a number.

unfortunately, the .dll function I pass it to still GPF's.

back to the drawing board.

I'm really close to having the SSL socket coded, but this eventhandler is really a challenge.

lpfnEventProc = ?????
In order to :

Specify the procedure-instance address of the application defined callback function ( in my case, SSL_EVENTS() .
