Getting the font size of a Menu Item in the Win32 API?

Question

Is it possible to retrieve the size of the font used in a menu via the Win32 API? I have found the GetTextMetrics() call, but cannot find a way to specify it getting the font used in a menu. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

It looks like you can use this call

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS)

to get various system parameters. The resulting structure contains a LOGFONT item for the menu font and you should be able to determine the fontsize from that.
