How would I get the font used in menus? I want to setup a TFont that is the same.

Answer:

Returned font becomes callers property and must be freed by it!

1   function GetMenuFont: TFont;
2   var
3     ncMetrics: TNonClientMetrics;
4   begin
5     ncMetrics.cbSize := sizeof(TNonClientMetrics);
6     SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(TNonClientMetrics), 
7   @ncMetrics,
8       0);
9     Result := TFont.Create;
10    Result.Handle := CreateFontIndirect(ncMetrics.lfMenuFont);
11  end;


The TNonClientMetrics structure also contains information on other fonts used in 
the non-client area
information:

lfCaptionFont: Font used in regular captions
lfSmCaptionFont: Font used in small captions
lfMenuFont: Font used in menus
lfStatusFont: Font used in status bars
lfMessageFont: Font used in message boxes
