PB 2022 #1892
A customer is running our application via RemoteApp and via RDWeb on Chrome. They have a 32 inch monitor set to a resolution of 3840 X 2160. They report that the text on our application is tiny.
I had them try an updated manifest file that I found on this forum that is supposed to activate DPI Aware.
RDWeb on Chrome was better but RemoteApp was unchanged.
Are there any plans to make PowerBuilder fully DPI Aware so that it can properly scale on giant monitors?
I Sure hope its comprehensive, supporting a wide range of control features such as when to engage in such DPI scaling and when not.
I wouldn't want the application to get a brain and do it all on its own when not desired,
I would go so far as to want to see it be something that should have a fair amount of flexibility to be controlled per window AND OR per object AND OR per datawindow control etc, or for those who want/need it application wide etc.
Definitely a tricky thing no doubt but a single hammer approach probably wouldn't work, I am both definitely skeptical and hopeful it gets done right.
Also, how it handles the DPI Scaling, at startup, object instantiate, controlled interval refresh, automatic, manual , there is so much to consider here.
I have a large scale application that is designed for small and very large screens, up to 85+ inch TVs and larger monitor style panels.
This DPI Scaling would be a huge thing for me.
Just my 2 cents
Joseph,
FYI: I added DPI Awareness to the STD Framework for PB 2022 R2 ...
