Popular Post argumentum Posted July 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) ... lets do some marketing first: pardon the image size of 225% scale on another monitor The idea is to have some DPI awareness in our GUIs and with this all you have to do is prefix "_HiDpi_" to your current code. Simple. This version ( HiDpi v. 0.2023.7.29(b) stable.zip ) is stable but only system aware. ( pictures above ) This next version ( HiDpi v. 0.2023.8.3(a) under development.zip ) is what I've got so far in regards of per-monitor awareness This one ( HiDpi v. 0.2023.8.4(ResizeTestbed) under development.zip ) is for the brave of heart. I'm looking for ideas. This is a testbed for anyone wanting to contribute regarding resizing controls. I have now started to use _WinAPI_DPI.au3 because I feel that this UDF is ready for that UDF. Therefore, too many and too big files for copy and paste. And that is good. Means that the UDF is getting closer to stable. FAQ (of sorts) Q: When did you come up with this ? A: Never. These are helper functions for _WinAPI_SetDPIAwareness.au3 but I did not get to finish. Nonetheless it's functional as is and applies to most of the cases in need of DPI awareness. Per-monitor would need more involved coding and I only have so much time and know how for now. Q: Will you open a ticket and ask to be included in the standard UDFs ? A: No. This is a just for now. Eventually the functionality would be a standard feature without the need of this. Q: Will you add ... A: Only in the case that either, I realize is needed and code it or, you code it and ask to be included in this bundle of functions UDF Q: This is not working ... A: The best way to go about a problem with this code is to open it's own thread in GUI Help and Support and post there with a mention of me. I'll read and answer there. Q: Are you going to share "logo4.gif", "SampleAVI.avi", etc. A: You are right. I forgot to say that the example file will work as expected if created in "..\Examples\GUI\HiDpi_v_n.n.n.n\", as a subfolder of where "SampleControls.au3" is at. There it will find all the files required for the example. Because after all, this example is that example but "_HiDpi_fied" ( so to say ). Q: Is there a tool that will magically update all my old scripts ? A: I've posted a script to get you closer but is not magical. Should work just fine for simple GUIs. Q: Are you going to work on a Per-monitor version ? A: yes, as time permits.

argumentum Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 ...this approach is simple and should work flawlessly if, all monitors have the same scaling. Otherwise will take the scaling of the monitor declared as primary, and adjust in a blurry way the difference. As a first step, should work for most people as they have only one monitor. Those with more than one, if bought together then is also functional. Now, those like me that have, in my case say, a 21:9 1080p next to a 16:10 4k, it looks perfect only for the primary but again, most people don't have such setup. Hence an incentive for me to have a full "PER_MONITOR_AWARE_V2" instead of the "SYSTEM_AWARE" that I posted. mLipok 1 Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ).

argumentum Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 What's new with version 0.2023.7.30(a) A first try at a per-monitor awareness. There is an array to keep tabs on what's going on BUT no maintenance yet. Nor proper font keeping. I don't even know how I'm planning to do what yet. I'm using $GUI_DOCKAUTO to keep controls in place but have to come up with something better. Don't know yet. Weekend is over and I'm out of time for now.

argumentum Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 thanks for the post @Shark007. This is bewildering to me. The code itself should do away with a manifest as is making the call after the loading of the code, by which whatever was set as manifest should not matter, I say ( DllCall and what not ) to set DPI per process to such, or such. In any case, the manifest works well with the code as is in the example if the manifest aligns with it. Could you compile it removing the line that say "LazyInit" ?. That would be helpful. If it looks worse than the 2nd pic, I've got it, otherwise, I'll ask for your OS, monitors, monitor arrangement and settings and other hardware, and maiden name.
