DPI scaling issues

Pages: 12

I am not getting the scale ratio right, what am I doing wrong?.
The button always moves at a different scale ratio.

Your issue is not clear, the button moves exactly as you programmed it.

What's an obvious issue here is that it looks like you're trying to adjust window and button dimensions according to DPI change, but it doesn't work when you change DPI in Settings app, is that right?

Also when changing DPI you button is blur and window size does not change.
In other words your window and button is not DPI aware..

If yes this is because DPI must be handled in WM_DPICHANGED
But there is much more to proper DPI handling, so until you confirm this is your issue I'll skip that.

EDIT:
See these links:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/hidpi/setting-the-default-dpi-awareness-for-a-process
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/hidpi/high-dpi-desktop-application-development-on-windows
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/learnwin32/dpi-and-device-independent-pixels

After you studied those links, here is sample code:

but it doesn't work when you change DPI in Settings app, is that right?

if I set my screen to 150% scale ratio, the button is in a different position than at 200%.
I always restart the program after adjusting the scaling ratio, after that the button is no longer in position.

I am aware of WM_DPICHANGED, not important at this stage I think.

If it's not important then how is your code notified about DPI change?

Anyway, I edited my post with few links that you should read, in particular this one:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/hidpi/setting-the-default-dpi-awareness-for-a-process

What happens is that DWM (Desktop Window Manager) automatically resizes your window (and thus makes it look bad) because your window is not DPI aware.

I found the problem, now it works as it should.

 int DpiScale(int val)
 {
     const HDC hDC = ::GetDC(HWND_DESKTOP);
     const float dpix = ::GetDeviceCaps(hDC, LOGPIXELSX) / 96.0f;
     ::ReleaseDC(HWND_DESKTOP, hDC);
     return static_cast<int> (val * dpix); 
 }


The button stays at the same location with every scale ratio without WM_DPICHANGED

Thanks for posting your solution (in case somebody else happens to stumble upon this thread).

There was no need to write any code, your functions "DpiScale" are redundant, all you had to do is add manifest to executable, to disable DWM behavior.

No, I have correctly set up in Microsoft Visual Studio that he creates a mainfest file with HIGH DPI Aware active.
so that I don't get blurry text and always see the button in the correct position.

But if that's not necessary I want to see code

I posted on this topic here quite a while ago and presented quite a lot of code...

http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/windows/160413/

I think it's all correct, but I want to revisit this issue as soon as I get time. Microsoft added a few more functions and functionality (and complexity) since I last dealt with all this. One can manage it without a manifest, although MS pushes using one.
JohnOfC (15)
in the end I didn't use the built-in manifest tool in Microsoft Visual Studio, I created a resource file and referenced it to my own manifest file.
I don't want to waste time figuring out exactly how the built-in manifest tool works.

For some reason the system theme colors were not included, it works fine now

append to rc file

As I said in reply #9 above, I needed to look into this issue again. I know JohnOfc marked this thread as solved, but I decided (and hoped) my new work on this topic might benifit someone, so I wanted to share my code. I worked on this topic about five years ago in the hope of making my GUIs at work look better for my users who changed the default resolution or fonts on their machines for whatever reason, i.e., poor eyesight, personal preference, whatever. The code I originally wrote worked good I think but never accounted for the situation - becomming more and more common nowadays, if not universal, of folks using multiple monitors, where DPIs can change during the run of a program - or if the user changes DPI settings through Control Panel during the single run of a program. I can't say I really enjoy this kind of coding - I take it more or less like medicine, but I read up on the topic again (using Malibor's links), and tried to put together a skeleton GUI showing how to make one's code Multiple Monitor Version 2 Aware.

The provided code just creates a 'Log On' form with labels for user name and password, text boxes for user entry of the same, and a submit and cancel button. The first version of the code is the 'Release' version not corrupted with tons of debug output statements, and the second version has conditional Debug Output Log statements, without which I would have never have been able to figure this stuff out and get it working.

My plan of attack was to start the program at some particular font size and resolution - such as the recommended 100% in ...

Control Panel >> Settings >> System >> Display

...of my Dell Inspiron 17" laptop (1920 x 1080), then go back into Control Panel and change either or both the 'Scale And Layout' or screen resolution while the propgram is running. This causes the WM_DPICHANGED message to fire, and one can view on screen either the damage done or correctness of one's code in response to those actions. Here is an example of the Debug Log file created by such a run...

That run started at 96 DPI resolution, then changed to 144 which ups the sizing factor for everything by a factor of 1.5. Anyway, next post is the release version with no output log statements...

I tested your code with mvs 2019, with the 32 bit version it works well. but with the 64 bit we have this warning



Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning C26451 Arithmetic overflow: Using operator '*' on a 4 byte value and then casting the result to a 8 byte value. Cast the value to the wider type before calling operator '*' to avoid overflow (io.2). DpiAware2 D:\Users\WinMain.cpp 42




I changed your code as follows

int WINAPI WinMain(_In_ HINSTANCE hInstance, _In_opt_ HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, _In_ LPSTR lpCmdLine, _In_ int nCmdShow)

int     __stdcall                 WinMain(_In_ HINSTANCE hInstance, _In_opt_ HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, _In_ LPSTR lpCmdLine, _In_ int nCmdShow);


and : maby this is not correct

    do
    {
        nHeight = -MulDiv(iFont, iDpi, 72);


and :
 
 
#define Siz(z)                    (int)(z * iDpi/96.0)


i removed all the includes and error stuff from the main file, 2 includes leftover

Thanks for taking the time to test it John. But I'm not sure which program you are talking about. The two above I named NewDpi5 and NewDpi6. Or are you referring to that 2015 post I linked to above?????
JohnOfC (15)
I used NewDpi6.cpp and NewDpi6.h

Just worked on it this morning John and I'm not able to duplicate that warning. I will say that a fault I have is I often post code that has successfully built but with all warnings off. Reason for that is I only do command line compiling and I mostly forget to add the command line switch that turns on warnings, which is /W1, /W2, /W3, or /W4. Geeez, I just looked at the command line compilation strings I posted, and I do see I had /W4 included with NewDpi5 but not NewDpi6. About all I can think to do is build it with the Visual Studio IDE and see if it comes up there.

One thing I did check on though was my use of 96.0 and 72.0 in MulDiv() and Siz(). For some reason I thought I had to do that to overcome a problem I was having with floating point truncations while I was developing the programs. But I just double checked on it and I see I don't need to do that. In fact, the docs on MulDiv show all int parameters and returns.

In terms of the prototype for WinMain(), I believe WINAPI and CALLBACK are both synonyms for __stdcall, which has force in x86 builds, but is defined as nothing in x64 because Windows and the x64 chips it runs on only have one calling convention, and so those stack protocols become superflouis.

The only thing that bothers me about my code and for which I have no explanation is that if I start out in the standard resolution for my laptops and click the submit button after filling in a user name and password, a MessageBox pops up and everything looks fine and crisp - no virtualization, pixel stretching, fuzzy text, or anything. Then, if, while the program is running and still on the screen, if I go into Setting >> Control Panel >> Display and change the fonts to something larger, then reclick the submit button, the MessageBox() comes up, but the text is fuzzy. At least that's how it looks to me. My understanding is that shouldn't be. I thought my code did everything right to prevent that. Are you seeing that?
