Isn't there something already in the GDI classes Bo and Cesar put together in VFPx downloads?

Subclass a textbox so that the refresh method creates a GDI text image at the top/left position of the textbox in the required size. Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harvey Sent: 30 March 2009 17:20 My previous challenge of updating a field value has now been replaced with a font size issue. We want to display the updated values in real-time on a large flat screen tv, something around the 46" size, so the numbers are fairly large and can be seen with the naked eye from maybe around 150 feet. Someone said letters 6 inches high should be viewable. Unfortunately when I did some testing I found that the largest font size that can be used in a textbox is 127, and numbers in that font size in ariel are only about 2.5 inches tall when shown on the 46" lcd TV. Has anyone had experience with this scenario or could give me some ideas on how to get the numbers larger.
