Tester needed ^^

observation:

with the _WinAPI_DPI.au3
with drag, it confuses
with win+shift+right, looks properly.

without the _WinAPI_DPI.au3
with dragging , looks properly.
with win+shift+right, it confuses

@ioa747 the odd thing is that only the tab control is not properly positioned - the rest seems to work properly.

I forgot to set the width / height of the group control and that the reason why the height is not correct because Windows sets the height automatically - should be fixed now.

Without _WinAPI_DPI.au3 the GUI looks blurry on higher DPI settings.

I'm now for 2 weeks at home (holidays) and have only one monitor available. I cannot do real testing.

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

I tried to have a go, but it seems I am missing WinAPIGdiDC.au3, which I am guessing is only available in latest AutoIt, which I don't have installed on this PC, which is a couple of point versions behind.

EDIT

In the end I realized I needed to just rename two includes.

WinAPIGdiDC.au3 to WinAPIGdi.au3

WinAPISysWin.au3 to WinAPISys.au3

Which resulted in the following.

Is that what you needed?

@TheSaint yes, this is what I want to see. 😉 What DPI value is it? 100%? If yes, can you please set it to a higher value and take a screenshot again?

I'm not exactly sure how to do this as I am not seeing a percentage anywhere.

Looking at the example code I just manually changed the auto detection of $iDPI from 96 to $iDPI = 196 and got the following.

Is that what you mean?

Please note, I am using an external monitor with a laptop.

Is this Windows 7?

You can find that by choosing Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display and then clicking the "Set custom text size (DPI)" link in the left panel.

Thanks, but the code should detect the DPI which is set on your system otherwise the result will look incorrect (as in your screenshot)

Just do following steps: 

1. on the desktop press the rmb and select "Screen Resolution"
2. in the lower part of the newly opened window select "Make text and other items larger or smaller"
3. in the next window you can select between different size - select the largest one
4. after logoff / and loggin again just test the Example code again

I tested in my VM and it looked properly - all sizes and positions of the controls were set as intended.

Okay it is a text and items size thing, and will probably screw my icon positioning.

And while I use a program to save and restore icon positions, it never works fully correct for some reason.
So with all the desktop icons I have, I am going to give it a miss ... sorry.

I have my icons grouped very specifically.

No problem. Thx anyway.

In Linux this would be as simple as backing up a single file, or even not bothering with it at all because it doesn't screw up the positions when changing sizes most likely

Yeah yeah.  

When icons don't fit on the screen, then usually if there are vacant positions, those will get populated, which might just mean an auto sort for simplification. I've certainly experienced that in Windows and I imagine Linux has no reason to be different, especially as icons off-screen are not helpful.

On my desktop (Xfce), that does happen, but the positions are not permanent, and they spring back to their correct locations once there is enough space available.

Here's my result:

Added 60 items to the list
Screen Dimensions: 1280 x 800
Listview Dimensions: 19382 x 19
Calculated GUI size: 640 x 360
OS: WIN_7

...but how does it look ?, the code in the 1st post.
