Windows 7 compliance

#41 I used to bash MSDN all the time, but now that I've used it a lot, I find it to be one the most useful resources on the internet (next to StackOverflow, that is).

Anyway, the solution to the DPI problem is right here: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464660(VS.85).aspx

The short of it is this:
1) Create a file called "DeclareDPIAware.manifest" in the same directory as the project ("engine/compilers/VisualStudio 2005").
2) Put the following into it:

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" >
  <asmv3:application>
    <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
      <dpiAware>true</dpiAware>
    </asmv3:windowsSettings>
  </asmv3:application>
</assembly>

3) Go to Project > Properties > Manifest Tool > Input and Output.
4) Edit the "Additional Manifest Files" to add "DeclareDPIAware.manifest".
5) Recompile!

I tested 3 different DPIs, and it worked on all of them.

Anything else?

#42 Yeah, want a job? ;)

#43 do it. :)

#44 thank you so much William for putting so much effort into this

#45 Thanks a lot William, great job!

#46 I'm having quite a laugh at myself right now. I spent some time trying to find the DPI post to add a link to here and to the post where I linked the QA checklist.

Duh! The DPI post is *THIS* post!

The checklist is Comment #5 in *THIS* post!

Maybe a strong black tea is in order!

#47 Thanks William... that DPI fix there just saved me a heap of trouble with BigFish QA... and however much time it would have taken me to figure it out!

Works like a charm.
