The GUI would not present itself. The Application would run and show an icon on the taskbar but I could not get the GUI to show. When I hovered the taskbar icon, I could see the preview of a thin sliver of the gui vertical in the center on the taskbar gui thumbnail. By the way, I only create 64Bit DpiAware Gui's and had no issue's using the old code except for what was previously discussed. I do use the manifest to set up Dpi Aware'ness.

64bit GUI's are a must if you distribute your software publicly and want to avoid false positives.

Ok thanks but without source code I cannot troubleshoot.

Using x86 works?

It has been more than 1 year already that I have stopped creating 32Bit GUI's completely mostly because of the false positives.

That's was not my question. 😉 If you compile it as x86 just for testing purposes, does it work? Maybe you have to turn off your AV.

I will try an x86 compile.

I stopped using AV of any kind, not even Windows Defender more than 10 years ago. Once you familiarize your self with the possible source's of viruses, it becaomes simple to avoid.

OK. I compiled my script as x86 using your latest iteration of your UDF and I get the exact result as x64, a thin sliver of a thumbnail presented on the taskbar and no GUI presented.

Thx for testing.

Can you send me the source code for troubleshooting?

It is 4200 lines of code involving a 1/2 dozen (or more) private UDF's.

[UEZ]

The interesting part is why your GUI is not shown. Anyhow, I cannot fix it when I cannot reproduce the bug.

 

[Shark007]

I will see what I can do to tear my gui down to something shareable and still presents the issue. If I pull this off, I do not expect any of the GUI controls to be functional at all because this will be solely for GUI presentation. Currently it is using 10 private UDF's.

@UEZ In stripping my GUI down to something you can test with I did notice that the problem occurs only when the manifest sets the DPI Aware'ness

I've included my AutoIt3Wrapper.au3 because it autosets the awareness I prefer.

Check you private messaging for a download url

[Shark007]

To followup further, UEZ did some testing with files I provided.

The conclussion was that my personally modified AU3Wrapper was causing the issue with the newest _WinAPI_DPI.au3 provided by UEZ.

new screenshots

4KPC @225

Looks good. Dragging the GUI across the monitors should also fit.

 

What is left is to adjust the size of the Avi clip accordingly.

 

Today I updated the GUI example.

 

 

@Shark007 Thanks for the screenshots.

 

Creating DPI aware GUI is not an easy task...

 

@All; What about OS < Win11? How does it look on Win7, Win8 and Win10 on multi-monitor environment? Can somebody test and share any screenshot?

Windows Shortcut win10

    If you want to move a window to a display located to the left of your current display, press Windows + Shift + Left Arrow.
    If you want to move a window to a display located to the right of your current display, press Windows + Shift + Right Arrow.

Interesting project.

Just for fun, this is my result for the code in Post #1 with Win 7 32 Bit, along with the needed #include <WinAPIGdi.au3>

Added 222 items to the list
Screen Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
Listview Dimensions: 50840 x 19
Calculated GUI size: 960 x 540
OS: WIN_7
 

Here's a screenshot to give you a laugh.

[UEZ]

@TheSaint thanks for it but I'm more interested in the Sample GUI from here:

 

 

Any change to test it and provide a screenshot same as Shark007? The interesting part is when the DPI is > 100%.

 

 

222 desktop icons!?!?!  The Toolbar Desktop tool can be found currently only on German site. I'm currently struggling with the file icon on DPI change to resize it properly...

I have  Windows 10 Pro Version:22H2

 

I have two screens

DISPLAY1 Dim:1920, 1080  Scale:100%  is primary
DISPLAY2 Dim:3840, 2160  Scale:200%

 

Spoiler

 

Advanced  scaling settings  (if it plays any role)

 

 

 

_WinAPI_DPI.au3 test1

https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/210604-tester-needed/#comment-1522028

 ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when i run it it comes to the primary screen 
DISPLAY1  Rectangle:0, 0, 1920, 1080  Scale:100%

 

 

 

 

 

 ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I drag it to the right on monitor 2
DISPLAY2 Rectangle:1920, 0, 5760, 2160  Scale:200%

console say - DPI change triggered! DPI: 192 

 

 

 

 

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I drag it to back  to primary screen 
DISPLAY1  Rectangle:0, 0, 1920, 1080  Scale:100%
console say - DPI change triggered! DPI: 96

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I press (win+shift+right) GUI move it  to the monitor 2
DISPLAY2 Rectangle:1920, 0, 5760, 2160  Scale:200%

console say - DPI change triggered! DPI: 192

 

 

 ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I press  (win+shift+right) GUI move it  to the primary monitor
DISPLAY1  Rectangle:0, 0, 1920, 1080  Scale:100%
console say - DPI change triggered! DPI: 96

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then i did the same without the _WinAPI_DPI.au3

just with the default 
C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\SampleControls.au3
DISPLAY1  Rectangle:0, 0, 1920, 1080  Scale:100%

 

 ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I drag it to the right on monitor 2
DISPLAY2 Rectangle: 1920, 0, 3840, 1080  Scale:200%

from Rectangle:1920, 0, 5760, 2160 which was previously

 

 

 ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I drag it to back  to primary screen 
DISPLAY1  Rectangle:0, 0, 1920, 1080  Scale:100% 

 

 

 

 ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I press  (win+shift+right) GUI move it  to the monitor 2
DISPLAY2 Rectangle: 1920, 0, 3840, 1080  Scale:200%

 

 

 ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I press  (win+shift+right) GUI move it  to the primary monitor
DISPLAY1  Rectangle:0, 0, 1920, 1080  Scale:100%

I've got your same setup only with the 4k as primary.
I was watching something with VLC when I was reading your post. I tested it right there an then. Funny enough, dragging VLC with the mouse and using the shortcut behaved very differently.

It takes a bunch of us doing stuff to come up with good code.

Today I used SplashTextOn() and realized that I need to add it to the UDF but did not realize it until ..., until I did.

The point is: thanks for testing. I'd have never looked into it otherwise

I agree, this happens with, or without _WinAPI_DPI.au3

[UEZ]

@ioa747 thanks for providing the screenshots. What I can see is that the tab control is not properly positioned when moved from 2nd monitor whereas win+shift+right looks properly.
