WildByDesign Posted August 13 Author Posted August 13 (edited) I'm working on the PMv1 scaling right now and it is quite a bit different. For PMv2, I don't need to lock down control resizing at all with GUICtrlSetResizing since I figured out the right order, timing and technique: 1. Record control coordinates, 2. SetWindowPos on GUI, 3. Move/size individual controls based on coordinates from 1 x new DPI scale and set fonts. Anything outside of that exact order gets really messy. It took a lot of trial and error to get that PMv2 scaling technique to work without having to modify GUICtrlSetResizing like I initially did in early testing. But for PMv1, that technique is not so good. And it seems that I may have to use GUICtrlSetResizing to lock down control resizing for PMv1 only. Or I may have to figure out a specific order, timing and technique for PMv1 that is different from PMv2. Anyway, I had success with PMv1 for enabling EnableNonClientDpiScaling which is needed for OS builds between 14393 and 15063 which do not have PMv2 yet. AI said that it was impossible in AutoIt to catch $WM_NCCREATE early enough to have success enabling EnableNonClientDpiScaling. But I did not listen. GUIRegisterMsg fails to catch it. A regular SetWindowSubclass fails to catch it. However, a CBTProc with $HCBT_CREATEWND allows AutoIt to catch $WM_NCCREATE. So I have PMv1 resizing the menubar automatically now which is nice. The only negative with PMv1 is that it does not have a way to automatically scale ComCtl v6 stuff like statusbar, theme related things like checkbox, etc. So PMv1 is a work in progress and a real pain to handle so it will take some time. 5 hours ago, ioa747 said: working case run the configured script call About move the About window to another DPI scaled monitor and close it Now move the main window to another DPI scaled monitor Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

WildByDesign Posted August 13 Author Posted August 13 5 hours ago, ioa747 said: working case run the configured script call About move the About window to another DPI scaled monitor and close it Now move the main window to another DPI scaled monitor I have to admit that I am a bit stumped on this issue right now. I added a bunch of logging to try and figure out where the issue is occurring. I thought that maybe _WinAPI_EnumChildWindows was picking up child controls for the main GUI when the _AboutGUI() was scaled on the other monitor. But it seems that is not the issue. I'm guessing that it must have more to do with the $fNewDPI / $fPrevDPI math specifically in this multiple GUI scenario. The math works fine for single GUI. So if this is the root of the issue, I may need some sort of way to store (globally or static) and array or map that keeps the previous DPI and current DPI for each top-level GUI window handle.
ioa747 Posted August 13 Posted August 13 that's exactly the problem, $fPrevDPI is the previous DPI that appeared in the _PM_Scale function and not the previous DPI of the running window WildByDesign 1 I know that I know nothing

I just fixed the issue. I just followed your repro steps and confirmed that the issue is fixed. However, those exact same repro steps found another issue. The fonts are getting deleted from the main GUI. So I've just got to fix that and will upload another release soon after. I got all of the PMv1 scaling stuff sorted out although I don't know how many users would be within the OS builds that use PMv1.

I fixed the issue with the previous DPI scale being incorrect when multiple GUI's are used following the repro steps. However, the other related problem is that the control fonts are being deleted. When you follow those repro steps, all controls get set to a default GUI font since the UDF has deleted them. I've added maps $__PM_mFontsCur[] and $__PM_mFontsOld[] to deal with this. But I'm not very good with maps at all. EDIT: I may have this fixed now after I spotted my mistake. I still have to test my fix on a multi-monitor setup as soon as I can. If the fix is good, I'll have it added to the next release. Edited August 13 by WildByDesign argumentum and ioa747 2
WildByDesign Posted August 14 Author Posted August 14 Opinion Question: Since the beginning of my experimentation with scaling PMv2, I've had to make a determination that depends whether or not the control is a native AutoIt control (GUICtrlCreate*) or a standard UDF created control. Initially, I went with the assumption that anything with a CtrlID of 10,000 or higher must be standard UDF created. But I've seen some CtrlID's around 5,000 and some with no CtrlID. So I wanted to see if we can figure out a more "matter-of-fact" way to make this determination. Here is my current idea on this (same idea in Switch and Select): Local $iCtrlID = _WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID($hCtrl) Local $hCtrlTest = GUICtrlGetHandle($iCtrlID) Switch $hCtrlTest Case 0 ConsoleWrite("This is NOT a native AutoIt control: " & $sClass & @CRLF) Case Else ConsoleWrite("This is a native AutoIt control: " & $sClass & @CRLF) EndSwitch Select Case Not $hCtrlTest ConsoleWrite("This is NOT a native AutoIt control: " & $sClass & @CRLF) Case Else ConsoleWrite("This is a native AutoIt control: " & $sClass & @CRLF) EndSelect I was going to try this first with GUICtrlGetState for the purpose of this test, but it had different results for ListView controls. So from what I can tell, GUICtrlGetHandle might be the best. If it's not a native AutoIt control, it cannot get the handle and therefore returns 0. Does this seem like a more reasonable way to make the determination of native AutoIt control or not native? ioa747 1

WildByDesign Posted August 15 Author Posted August 15 PMv2 2026.08.15: Added AutoIt version and OS architecture to the window title of the Example Added _IsNativeControl() function to determine if control is a native AutoIt control - thanks ioa747 Fixed an issue where incorrect font handles were deleted in some multi-GUI scenarios @ioa747 Your _IsNativeControl() function is pure genius. Thank you. The boolean return made it easier to have simple Switch Case and made to overall code cleaner. To fix the issue with the fonts being incorrectly deleted in that multi-GUI scenerio that you shared (with the About GUI), I created another map $__PM_mFontsOld and renamed the original map to $__PM_mFontsCur. It fixed the issue and I was able to confirm that the correct fonts are being deleted at the correct moment in time now for the correct window. I did not (yet) do any kind of garbage collector cleanup destroyed windows with the $__PM_mFontsOld map. That is still happening with the original $__PM_mFontsCur map though. I just have a lot of trouble visualizing map structure for some reason. Should we also have garbage collector cleanup destroyed windows on $__PM_mFontsOld? If yes, could you please help me with that? You have a very good structure set up for that stuff but I don't understand it very well. Possibly your cleanup functions (__PM_Free and __PM_Cleanup) can be extended to handle cleanup of the $__PM_mFontsOld map as well. Possibly even adding a parameter to the function to pass the different map variables into the function. I just don't understand it well enough and don't want to wreck your nice functions. argumentum and ioa747 2

Sorry about that. I'm really in the dark when it comes to maps. Everytime that I've tried to learn about maps, I could never quite understand. For example, I don't know how to put multiple arrays in $__PM_mDPI[$hWnd]. I will have to spend some time to get a better understanding of maps so that I can simply this. 6 hours ago, ioa747 said: just as you don't need $__PM_mFontsOld either because you can temporarily assign it to a Local varible until you replace $__PM_mFontsCur I see what you mean about this.

Also, leaving the old lines is was beneficial for me to see where I went wrong and how it can be done better. So it was helpful for me to learn from. I appreciate it. ioa747 1
Engr Posted August 16 Posted August 16 WildByDesign, thank you (and others) for developing this scaling UDF! I have been playing around with it, and on several of my AutoIt scripts it seems to function well. However, any GUI that utilizes a GUICtrlCreateUpdown, the "box" for the control is missing. My system is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC with a 4K monitor at 175% scaling. Following is some code that demonstrates the issue - when your UDF is commented out, things look correct, when enabled, the GUICtrlCreateUpdown controls are wrong: expandcollapse popup#include <Misc.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include "PMv2.au3" _PM_Init() Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Global $hMainGUI = GUICreate("PMv2 Test", 450, 75) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "f_Exit") ;CD Begin Folder Input GUICtrlCreateLabel("CD Begin:", 50, 10, 150, 20) GUICtrlCreateLabel("CD", 50, 27, 20, 20) Global $g_idCDBeginDir = GUICtrlCreateInput("1", 70, 25, 40, 24, 0x2000) GUICtrlCreateUpdown(-1, 0x21) GUICtrlSetLimit (-1, 16, 1) ;CD End Folder Input GUICtrlCreateLabel("CD End:", 150, 10, 150, 20) GUICtrlCreateLabel("CD", 150, 27, 20, 20) Global $g_idCDEndDir = GUICtrlCreateInput("10", 170, 25, 40, 24, 0x2000) GUICtrlCreateUpdown(-1, 0x21) GUICtrlSetLimit (-1, 16, 1) ;Number Of Tracks Per CD Folder Input GUICtrlCreateLabel("Tracks/CD:", 250, 10, 140, 20) Global $g_idTracksPerCD = GUICtrlCreateInput("20", 250, 25, 40, 24, 0x2000) ;300L, 200T, 40W, 24H GUICtrlCreateUpdown(-1, 0x21) GUICtrlSetLimit (-1, 99, 1) ;Number Of MP3s Per Track Input GUICtrlCreateLabel("MP3s/Track:", 340, 10, 140, 20) Global $g_idMP3sPerTrack = GUICtrlCreateInput("3", 340, 25, 40, 24, 0x2000) ;390L, 200T, 40W, 24H GUICtrlCreateUpdown(-1, 0x21) GUICtrlSetLimit (-1, 16, 1) _PM_Scale($hMainGUI) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hMainGUI) While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd Func f_Exit() Exit EndFunc Hope this helps ...
