Change the default window font in a Win32 Windows project

I am creating a GUI application using C and Win32 API, and would like to know how we can change the default font of the Main window to Tahoma.

I am coming from a .NET background, where we change the font of the parent control, then automatically the child controls inherits that font.

Is there a way similar to it, or do we need to manually set the font of each control?

Consider the following code:

#include <windows.h>

#define ID_EDIT 1
#define ID_BUTTON 2

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

  static HWND hwndEdit;
  static HWND hwndButton;
  static int len;
  static TCHAR text[30];


  switch(msg)
  {
    case WM_CREATE:
    hwndEdit = CreateWindow(TEXT("Edit"), NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER,
                50, 50, 150, 20, hwnd, (HMENU) ID_EDIT,
                NULL, NULL);

    hwndButton = CreateWindow(
        TEXT("button"), TEXT("Set Title"),       
        WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD,  
        50, 100, 80, 25,        
        hwnd, (HMENU) ID_BUTTON, NULL, NULL);      

    break;

    
    case WM_DESTROY:
        PostQuitMessage(0);
    break;
  }
  return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
}

int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
            LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow )
{
  MSG  msg ;    
  WNDCLASS wc = {0};
  wc.lpszClassName = TEXT( "Edit Control" );
  wc.hInstance     = hInstance ;
  wc.hbrBackground = GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_3DFACE);
  wc.lpfnWndProc   = WndProc ;
  wc.hCursor       = LoadCursor(0,IDC_ARROW);

  
  RegisterClass(&wc);
  CreateWindow( wc.lpszClassName, TEXT("Edit control"),
                WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE,
                220, 220, 280, 200, 0, 0, hInstance, 0);  

  while( GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) {
    TranslateMessage(&msg);
    DispatchMessage(&msg);
  }
  return (int) msg.wParam;
}

How can I change the font of the button and textbox in the above program?

You can set the font of a window by sending it the WM_SETFONT message:

HWND myButton = CreateWindowEx(/* ... */);
HFONT myFont  = /* ... load font from somewhere ... */

/* Change the button font. */
SendMessage(myButton, WM_SETFONT, WPARAM(myFont), TRUE);

This approach gives you a control-by-control control over which fonts you're using, but you only need to do it once per window.
