my program crashes when trying to set a child controls font, with the following code

Code:

  wmcreate:
        invoke  CreateWindowEx,WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,_lb,0,WS_VISIBLE+WS_CHILD+LBS_STANDARD,5,5,110,75,[hwnd],0,[hinstance],NULL
        or      eax,eax
        jz      failed
        mov     [lbhwnd],eax
        invoke  CreateWindowEx,0,_btn,_btn_text,WS_VISIBLE+WS_CHILD+BS_PUSHBUTTON,5,85,55,20,[hwnd],0,[hinstance],NULL
        or      eax,eax
        jz      failed
        mov     [btnhwnd],eax
        invoke  CreateFont,16,0,0,0,0,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,ANSI_CHARSET,OUT_RASTER_PRECIS,CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY,FIXED_PITCH+FF_DONTCARE,NULL
        or      eax,eax
        jz      failed
        mov     [childfont],eax
        invoke  SendMessage,[lbhwnd],WM_SETFONT,eax,FALSE
        invoke  SendMessage,[btnhwnd],WM_SETFONT,eax,FALSE
        xor     eax,eax
        jmp     finish
       failed:
        or      eax,-1
        jmp     finish

if i comment out the CreateFont line it doesnt crash

I haven't tested this, but try this:

Code:

  wmcreate: 
        invoke  CreateWindowEx,WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,_lb,0,WS_VISIBLE+WS_CHILD+LBS_STANDARD,5,5,110,75,[hwnd],0,[hinstance],NULL 
        or      eax,eax 
        jz      failed 
        mov     [lbhwnd],eax 
        invoke  CreateWindowEx,0,_btn,_btn_text,WS_VISIBLE+WS_CHILD+BS_PUSHBUTTON,5,85,55,20,[hwnd],0,[hinstance],NULL 
        or      eax,eax 
        jz      failed 
        mov     [btnhwnd],eax 
        invoke  CreateFont,16,0,0,0,0,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,ANSI_CHARSET,OUT_RASTER_PRECIS,CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY,FIXED_PITCH+FF_DONTCARE,NULL 
        or      eax,eax 
        jz      failed 
        mov     [childfont],eax 
        invoke  SendMessage,[lbhwnd],WM_SETFONT,[childfont],FALSE 
        invoke  SendMessage,[btnhwnd],WM_SETFONT,[childfont],FALSE 
        xor     eax,eax 
        jmp     finish 
       failed: 
        or      eax,-1 
        jmp     finish

Maybe its because last parameter of CreateFont is zero? needs to point to asciiz string

The last parameter must be a pointer to a string with font name.
