I tried to make my notepad with RichEdit control but I have found a problem with selecting font. I have made FontDialog but it's return value is LOGFONT struct. How can I translate LOGFONT to CHARFORMAT?

PS: I declared CHARFORMAT on my own:

struct CHARFORMAT
cbSize dd ?
dwMask dd ?
dwEffects dd ?
yHeight dd ?
yOffset dd ?
crTextColor dd ?
bCharSet db ?
bPitchAndFamily db ?
szFaceName db 32 dup(?)
_wPad2 dd ?
ends

I presume you could copy each of the related members from LOGFONT into the CHARFORMAT structure?

A quick glance shows me:

lfFaceName <=> szFaceName
lfCharSet <=> bCharSet
lfHeight <=> yHeight
etc.

How can I do this? I am beginner)

mov eax, value in logfont
mov value in logfont, eax

e.g.

Code:

mov eax,lfFaceName
mov szFaceName,eax

I tried to copy each of the related members from LOGFONT into the CHARFORMAT but an error occured:

operand sizes do not match.

code:

invoke ChooseFont,cf
mov [lf],eax

mov [chf.cbSize],sizeof.CHARFORMAT

mov eax,lf.lfHeight
mov [chf.yHeight],eax

mov eax,lf.lfFaceName
mov [chf.szFaceName],eax

invoke SendMessage,[hRichEdit],EM_SETCHARFORMAT,SCF_SELECTION,0
jmp .finish

and one question.

how can I copy

BYTE lfItalic;
BYTE lfUnderline;
BYTE lfStrikeOut;

to CHARFORMAT

DWORD dwEffects;

Try something like (not tested as I aint making a RTB):

Code:

           mov             [cf.lStructSize],sizeof.CHOOSEFONT
          mov             [cf.Flags],CF_INITTOLOGFONTSTRUCT
           mov             [cf.lpLogFont],lf
           invoke  ChooseFont,cf
               test    eax,eax
             je              codeEnd
             
            mov     eax,[lf.lfHeight]
           mov             [chf.yHeight],eax
           mov     eax,[lf.lfFaceName]
         mov             [chf.szFaceName],eax
                mov             [chf.dwEffects],
            
            invoke  SendMessage,[hRichEdit],EM_SETCHARFORMAT,SCF_SETSELECTION,chf
               
    codeEnd:
                ret

Your code is completely wrong. ChooseFront doesn't return a structure. You pass a pointer to a structure and it fills the items. If you set the flags to CF_INITTOLOGFONTSTRUCT and lpLogFont is a pointer to an initalised LOGFONT structure, it will fill that for you.

For the dwEffects, just check the value of each of the members of LOGFONT, and if they are set then or the corresponding value with the CHARFORMAT (CFE_BOLD, CFE_ITALIC, CFE_UNDERLINE etc.).

mov eax,[lf.lfFaceName]

Move it to ax or use movzx then.

lfFaceName is a pointer to a string. You need to copy all of the bytes. That is, you need multiple mov instructions to do it (or maybe rep movs).
