More enhancements to the High DPI support in WinForms XAF applications - YOUR FEEDBACK IS NEEDED!

A month ago, I announced the High DPI support in WinForms XAF applications. 

XAF team continues making improvements in this area based on your great feedback in Support Center. We would like to share our progress with you and would greatly appreciate your leaving a comment here.

Enhanced High DPI support in WinForms XAF applications - YOUR FEEDBACK IS NEEDED!

UPDATED:
Refer to the More enhancements to the High DPI support in WinForms XAF applications - YOUR FEEDBACK IS NEEDED! post for the most recent improvements in this regard.

In this post, I will describe how to make your WinForms XAF application look much better if your Windows 7, 8 or 10 is configured to show text and other items larger (150-200% or more which is a usual setting on High DPI (4K) display devices).



The following animation demonstrates the difference between the default and DPI-Aware scaling: http://i.imgur.com/Kgv4geP.gif

This functionality is already available in the most recent XAF update (16.2.4). However, there are several High DPI related bugs that we have fixed after this release. That is why I recommend you to download this hotfix before trying High DPI: DevExpressComponents-16.2.4.17046.exe

In this hotfix, the DPI-aware scaling is already enabled in XAF demos and design-time tools.



Proceed to see how to enable it in your applications.
