Hi.
This is continuation of the https://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=15994. For some reason I can't add new comments to it.
Anyway, the problem is still present for some PCs, and we added log to your code hoping to understand the reason.
Public Shared Function SetThreadDPIContext(ByVal contextWindow As IntPtr) As Integer
AddinModule.TrackDPI("Entered SetThreadDPIContext(ByVal contextWindow As IntPtr)")
Dim oldContext As Integer = CInt(DPIAwarenessContext.UnAware)
AddinModule.TrackDPI("OldContext default: " & oldContext)
AddinModule.TrackDPI("IsSupported: " & IsSupported)
If IsSupported Then
oldContext = _getThreadDpiAwarenessContext()
AddinModule.TrackDPI("Get oldContext: " & oldContext)
Dim dpiContext As Integer = _getWindowDpiAwarenessContext(contextWindow)
AddinModule.TrackDPI("Get dpiContext: " & dpiContext)
If oldContext <> dpiContext Then
AddinModule.TrackDPI("Now calling: _setThreadDpiAwarenessContext(dpiContext)")
_setThreadDpiAwarenessContext(dpiContext)
End If
End If
Return oldContext
End Function
The log for highlighted bold line returns zero. And it when the problem occurs. Does it says anything to you? Thanks!

Hello Sergey,
There's a window in which your pane is created; you can get that window's HWND using e.g. the GetActiveWindow() WinApi method.
Right before you add that control onto the pane (I assume you do this at the run time, say as a reaction to some event), you compare the DPI context of the thread (oldThreadDpiContext) with the DPI context of the window (windowDpiContext): if they don't match, you set the DPI context of the thread to windowDpiContext.
I've tried to download the project but I don't have permissions (?)

Hello Andrey,
We do not add controls to the form in runtime; we simply open modal form after click on Add-In button and some controls on this form are invisible. Our code is nearly the same as was recommended by you in our previous issue:
Private Sub AdxRibbonButton1_OnClick(sender As Object, control As IRibbonControl, pressed As Boolean) Handles TestButton.OnClick
DPIAwareAPI.SetThreadDPIContext(WinAPI.GetActiveWindow())
'here we create and open new modal form
End Sub
Your DEMO project http://temp.add-in-express.com/support/OutlookAddInTest.zip from https://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=15994 is still available, it works fine in our development environment, but when we released project with the same logic we received lots of complains from our customers as they still see form without controls.
We are not able to reproduce this problem, we only managed to get some logged information from PCs on which controls are not shown.
Could you please help us to understand why DPIAwareAPI.SetThreadDPIContext(WinAPI.GetActiveWindow()) does not work on some PCs. |

Hello Sergey,
Sorry for the delay; I need to discuss this with our guys.
We would like to have a code example that reproduce this issue for you.
