Scaling...again

[jacdelad]

Hi,
I'm currently writing a tool which shall run on a Surface-Tablet. These are usually scaled. The following code always returns "100", regardless of the set scaling:

Code: Select all

If ExamineDesktops()
  Debug DesktopUnscaledX(100)
  Debug DesktopUnscaledY(100)
  Debug DesktopScaledX(100)
  Debug DesktopScaledY(100)
EndIf

Shouldn't the values be different? And yes, I activated the "DPI scaling"-function.
Windows 10H2, PureBasic 6.0 ASM.

Could be a stretching function of the monitor, have a look here

Ok, so I tried Ollis code from Mesas link. On my desktop it shows me 1.0 regardless of which scaling I set the desktop. On the surface it shows the correct scaling. BUT, shouldn't the option "DPI awareness" automatically scale alle gadgets and stuff?

Oh, btw, I now had to turn of the scaling option, or it wouldn't work on the Surface. Since I scale my gadgets in %-of-screen it works.
