creation of defective internal form
Hello,
It is not possible to check and uncheck window settings in PureBasic's built-in form builder.
my operating system is Windows 10.

Most of the parameters are inaccessible.
This would be due to my unusual screen format (2256 x 1504 x150%).
when I use a resolution of (1366 X 768 X 100%) the interface works perfectly.
I see the setting, but it's like it's turned off.

It's clearly a DPI issue. When no scaling is applied, the IDE should display properly under any screen size.a_carignan wrote:...when I use a resolution of (1366 X 768 X 100%) the interface works perfectly.

Okay, that's a DPI issue. But do you have any other solution than to change DPI to use form editor.
Re: creation of defective internal form
Scaling is usually applied for added visual accessibility. An alternative to this would be to utilise a lower display resolution without any scaling. Not ideal, but it works.a_carignan wrote:Okay, that's a DPI issue. But do you have any other solution than to change DPI to use form editor.

Re: creation of defective internal form
So I have to change my display every time I want to edit a window in PureBasic?
Re: creation of defective internal form
That's not ideal. Here's a small trick that seems to work. By expanding the properties side panel a little, the fields and checkboxes become responsive again; even at 150% scaling. Please do give it a try.a_carignan wrote:So I have to change my display every time I want to edit a window in PureBasic?

Re: creation of defective internal form
Indeed, it seems to have worked.
Thank you
Thank you
Re: creation of defective internal form
I seem to remember that you have to design at 100% (96dpi) otherwise your designed form looks wrong at 100% screens.
Scaling is not just for accessibility. It is a necessity for hi-dpi/retina screens. It adds sharpness to fonts (the default on phones, the default on macs, starting to get common finally in pc land, Windows had its issues with it for long and its best solutions to it depends on devs corporation, PB still has its issues with it.
