Hi,

We've just updated the EO Dlls for our web browser project from 16.1.32.0 to 17.2.14.0 and are seeing a strange issue.

If the user has their DPI settings (windows 7) at 125% the browser takes this into account and displays everything larger meaning that some of our screens do not fit. On the old Dlls it seemed to ignore this setting.

Can you help please?

Andy.

Hi,

Automatically adjust based on DPI setting is how it supposes to be. Google Chrome works the same way. If you do not want this adjustment, you can explicitly set this property to compensate the scaling:

Thanks!

Thanks for this, had to set AllowZooming too on the browser options to get this to work.

My question was more centred around why the difference between versions of the Dll (on the older Dll it doesn't scale at all)

This happens ---- Chromium is a huge project and these are two different versions and there can be numerous "fixes" or "improvements" made from one version to another. So it's not practical to expect things stay fixed in between versions. Things are always changing and this is exactly why there are new versions after new versions. The guiding principle here is not to prevent changes, but is to change for the better.
