[seen other way] DesktopScaledX() should return a double

Hello,
trying to hold the dpi awareness (just an InputRequester() does not give the normal display : I must switch the DPI awareness option on, to restore the right display - v5.73 LTS x64 demo), I observe DesktopScaledX() returns an integer.
Code: Select all
Debug DesktopScaledX(1) ; returns 2 (it should return 1.75 on my computer)
Debug DesktopScaledX(100) : returns 175 (ok)
Would it be possible to return a double value ?

Uw... Indeed, it is perhaps
not to Fred I should write this to, but Microsoft...

Not needed ...
Code: Select all
Macro DesktopScaledXF(x)
(DesktopScaledX(x * 100) * 0.01)
EndMacro
Debug DesktopScaledX(1)
Debug DesktopScaledXF(1)

I forget the word 'not' above. No, the problem is working with only one pixel on dpi aware mode : the OS seems prevent the coder from access to this unique pixel, if
½ =< mod(dpi, 1) < 1
I am in this way (1.75) so the result is very ugly...

I think DesktopScaledX() works as intended.
The purpose of DesktopScaledX() is, that its result can be used as an argument e.g. for creating images. These arguments are integers, so the result of DesktopScaledX() would end up being rounded anyway.
If you are interested in the actual DPI resolution, use
DesktopResolutionX().
Code: Select all
Debug DesktopScaledX(1) ; returns 1 here
Debug DesktopResolutionX() ; returns 1.25 here

I will test DesktopResolutionX().

DesktopResolution X & Y functions offer the right type by returning a floating value.
Thank you for the information Little John.
