Can I use something DPI independent? Maybe System.Windows.FontSizeConverter?I need to convert to something, that will allow me to switch multiple time between WPF and GDI without changing the "real value". Each division and following multiplication will accumulate errors...
FontSizeConverter does a ConvertTo, but I don't understand to use it:
myUniversalFontSize = (double)(myFontSizeConverter.ConvertFrom(
gdiFont.SizeInPoints.ToString() + "pt"))
will transform my gdiFont size in ...? WPF Pixels?How now should I convert back that value to GDI?
gdiFont.SizeInPoints = myUniversalFontSize / 96 * 72???
Can I use in the second example the myFontSizeConverter too?

View 4 RepliesWe have a vb.net desktop application that uses a number of graphical images. All is well when the Windows Display is set to the default small font; however, when the display is set to the medium (125%) font, the graphical images don't display properly. We can accommodate the changes to windows sizes and text boxes, etc using autoscale and autosize; however, this doesn't help with images. Is there any way to overcome this issue?
View 2 RepliesIn Windows it's possible to Increase the size of on-screen fonts. We realized that too late and if a user does this our programm is unusable because he can not see all texts and controls. We're bringing out a release and we do not have the time to fix that.
So: How can I disable or ignore this increasing from windows application-wide? I tried setting autoscale to none but it is not working. Isn't possible to ignore that setting for the whole application? How can I do that?I know that this is a week solution because the user has a reason why he wants to increase the font size. But we can not fix this problem within two weeks but want to provide an application somebody can work.
Is it possible to Allow users to increase the font size in a windows applications?

How can I change font color of a string. I set the fore color properties of the label holding the string but seems that only works when the string is displayed in that label. Is there a way of setting the color of a string itself such that it displays any where with that color by default. I am actually sending this string as email but wanted to format it in a way that it will display differently however it doesn't.

I have inherited from a Windows.Forms.Listbox so I could override the OnPaint and OnDrawItem methods in an effort to highlight specific items and alternate backcolors. I am also skipping some DrawItem events to prevent flickering.Everything is working fine, however when I select items in the listbox, it looks like the font is shrinking or becoming more compressed.Then when I mouse leave, the font goes back to its normal size and appearance but the same items are still selected (which is correct). During debugging the font never changes nor do any of its properties, but it does end up looking different when the item is selected and the mousedown event just happened.

View 1 RepliesI'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:

I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.
