Background:
Almost all modern screens come by default with Windows set for larger text size
– this is the option under screen resolution/”Make text and other items larger
or smaller”, which sets the screen DPI to small (100%=96DPI) or 125% or 150%..
125% is set commonly on screens with HD resolution (1600x900 or 1920x1080).
I am looking at the issues involved in getting my software to display properly
when the screen DPI is not 96DPI as some forms look quite wrong on the newer
DPIs. The main problem areas seem to be label text sizes not fitting properly
on a form (being too large), and grid DefaultRowHeight not being set correctly,
particularly if the form is scaled to fit the screen, or if using custom draw
cell (DefaultDraw is false) which means the text is too large for the cell.
Anyone have any previous experience and tips with these issues? (VCL, have to
solve for both D2007 and XE5).
