As per the title trying to add measurements.
After clicking on the dialog box and selecting the measurements I would like there is no OK button to click to add the measurements and have the dialog box go away.
Hi @DamianW. Normally that dialog is 484 wide by 682 in height. It appears that Windows has clipped that dialog to 640 in height. My guess is that you are on a high-dpi screen, and Windows has magnified everything by 2X. So, the 640 is actually clipped the height to 1280. A surface pro can be 1520, 1824 or 1920 in height, and eyeballing things it looks like your display is around 1824 or 1920 in height.
You can also see the bitmap control panel on the left has been oddly resized by the OS (note the large gap).
If you right click on the QA40x.exe program, you can adjust some properties. Do any of these change how the program is rendered?
I’ll check into changing the height of that dialog to 640 max.
Hi,
Now it is already 2026 and this display scaling problem is still persistent. It is really a showstopper and I cannot understand that such a simple fix is not in the works! The product is just as good as the details, and some things are just very frustrating. PLEASE FIX THIS scaling problem ASAP!
Its not only this popup window that has problems, there is LOTs of text and graphics clipping elsewhere!
I cannot understand that such a simple fix is not in the works!
Hi @Christian, if the fix were easy, it would be done already. Search on ‘Winforms High DPI’. It’s big problem. The ability to seamlessly handle different display densities is a big reason why WPF was born. And all modern app platforms do a very good job of handling changing DPI on the fly. But Winforms isn’t a modern platform.
There are a lot of OS settings to help you manage this on a per-app basis, further indicating what a mess it is for legacy apps.
Version 2.0 of the software will do better here.
Hi Matt,
Thanx for chiming in. I know that MS has f****d up this DPI thing from the beginning, making it hard for application developers to get things right. My sympathies to the developers…
However, regardless of the settings I have tried, the QA403 measurement software still crops those small floating value windows, as well as pop-up windows cropping their content. This makes it impossible to use this software. Happy to hear that you are working on version 2.0, and I cross my fingers that this is solved for good. When do you think you can release (even just) a beta for the 2.0?
I would not mind receiving a step-by-step solution/instruction on how to work around this problem. I am fluent with computers, and I’m puzzled that I haven’t been able to find the right combination of settings…
Cheers, Christian
