hi
we are using various controls from stadart to devexpress to make our own usercustom controls.
that custom controls are set to DPI scaling, and that control is then placed in a AddinExpress form to load for example inside Outlook.
we found out after several tests, that our controls when loading inside outlook, do now scale properly, the ms or devexpress controls, get a bit crazy, some are becoming use others small etc in 2 or 4k resolutions and more than 100% dpi scaling in windows 10. (150% or 200%) on some microsoft surface devices for example.
we thought it was the controls initially, but if we place them in a normal winform and load our app as .exe in the exact same machine and resolution scaling, our app is scaling properly!
so it seems something in the addinexpress forms, is not allowing scaling to be inherited properly and the apps looks really ugly and unusable!
in our days with devices using huge resolutions and windows 10 scaling automatically so that the content is readable in those resolutions, its extremely important our Addin is doing the same to match the rest of the Outlook or Office scaled UI.
please take a serious look on that subject and try to find and fix the possible bugs.
regards
John |

Hello John,
Set the form's AutoSaleMode property to DPI.
Add-in Express doesn't scale forms. As to scaling your form, you can set the form's size basing on the size of a control lying on the same form; please have a look at the sample project at http://temp.add-in-express.com/support/TestDPI.zip.
