Windows 10 display scaling and ibbon images

Hello,

Happy new year everybody!

I'm developing an add-in for Office 2016 / Windows 10. I want to make this add-in full compatible with the Windows 10 scalling (I'm working on a 5K display).

I made all my images compatible for the scaling, but I'm having some trouble with the ribbon's images. Do you have any advice about how to implement scaled images in Office ribbon?

Thank you.

Regards.

Hi Thomas,

You can use the Glyph property of your ribbon components, i.e. a ribbon button. In the OnRibbonBeforeCreate event handler you can detect the current DPI and set correct images for your controls.

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you. I loaded all images in a resource file and set the correct image on the OnRibbonBeforeCreate event.
