Hello everyone,
Is there something someone has already done to override the Fox Pro reports Field Properties and Page Setup dialogs?
When the application is configured to be DPI Aware, these will not bitmap scale and become fuzzy. They remain small and unreadable.
There are other issues with the report writer as well that may need to addressed in VFP A.
Thank you, Tracy

Joel Leach made some changes to deal with DPI issues in the Report Apps. I don't recall the specifics, but they are available already on VFPX.org

I have gotten the latest build from VFPX. The dialogs are not increasing the size of the fonts as I need. Sometimes I forget that the app I maintain has the Query Manager in it that customers use for custom reports. A customer reported that they have a 13" 4K laptop that custom reports is unusable. So my task is working with this. I'm looking at integrating the vfp_dpi_aware class I have shared in to it currently. Though it will take some time for me to do a pull request.

I feel your pain. My laptop is 13" with a 4k screen and I have yet to find a combination of settings that displays my Visual Foxpro dev environment in a way that is overall pleasing to me. In hindsight, I wish I would have just gotten the HD screen. It's not only Foxpro that I have display issues with but it is a big part of my overall dissatisfaction with my new nearly $2k laptop...

I have a 15" 4K laptop that I have configured my display to 2048x1152 at 100%. For a 13" you may need to go smaller. VFPAdvanced behaves better at higher DPIs, but there are still odd UI things to contend with.

I've been digging in to the code. I have found that since I'm working in VFPAdvanced. The OS(3) is returning "10" in Windows 10 and Windows 11. So it is defaulting to the 8pt font size. Since the Case statement doesn't have a setting for "10". Also, it only increases the font to 10pt when at 200% it should be 16pt.
The dpiaware classlib handles multiple scale factors. And I'm implementing that in a local build for the needs I currently have.
I will reach out to Joel as well.
Thank you, Tracy
