fontsize of inputdlg box?

Hi,

Anyone know how to change the fontsize of an inputdlg box?

answer = inputdlg('default font too small for my old eyes!');

Reading the help file, I saw there is the possibility of
entering some options, such as options.WindowStyle='normal',
but couldn't find one for fontsize.

Thanks,
J

If you look in the m-file, you'll see a line like this:

TextInfo.FontSize = get(0,'FactoryUIControlFontSize');

which means that the font size is set to the factory default for
uicontrols. You can't change that, but you can chance that line in the
m-file:

TextInfo.FontSize = 14;

I'm not sure if MATLAB will see that change unless you clear the toolbox
cache. Try "clear inputdlg" or "clear functions".
