Resolved Winforms Desktop App with wpf user control

[divjoy]

Hi,

I have a winforms desktop App designed in VS 2013 using vb.net on .Net Framework 4.5.2

I added a xaml wpf user control textbox for spell checking text and everything was working great except when I launch the spellchecker form all the forms behind resize/rescale like either dpi or font and now they don't look well!

From scouring the internet I am recommended to add the following to my app

<asmv3:application>
<asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
<dpiAware>true</dpiAware>
</asmv3:windowsSettings>
</asmv3:application>

But not sure where to put it and what is asmv3 even?

Can anyone advise please?

Thanking you

Project properties, Application tab, "View Windows Settings" will open the application manifest.
Scroll a bit down, there you'll find the dpiAware section (including namespace definition) which you can uncomment (select and Ctrl-K-U keybord shortcut).

I've done that John, but there no entry for the dpiAware ?

I copied and added in
xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" into first header then below added

<asmv3:application>
<asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
<dpiAware>true</dpiAware>
</asmv3:windowsSettings>
</asmv3:application>

Maybe because the VS 2013 is so old and doesn't have it in the template? See here about the manifest set up: Setting the default DPI awareness for a process (Windows) - Win32 apps

Seems to be working now, than you John
