Answer 1

Several Windows controls are initialized with the ugly System font - if you want nice looking controls, you have to change the font yourself like so:

// create the text box
HWND hTextBox = CreateWindowEx(...);

// initialize NONCLIENTMETRICS structure
NONCLIENTMETRICS ncm;
ncm.cbSize = sizeof(ncm);

// obtain non-client metrics
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(ncm), &ncm, 0);

// create the new font
HFONT hNewFont = CreateFontIndirect(&ncm.lfMessageFont);

// set the new font
SendMessage(hTextBox, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hNewFont, 0);
