Is it possible to set the DPI of an application programmatically or the DPI only possible to set through the system preference?
Note: My application s GUI is coded in MFC and .NET forms.
Update: After some research I have found no way of doing this so I have to agree with the only answer here; it cannot be done.
Assuming that you are talking about the Windows system-wide setting that determines the ratio between the physical DPI setting (that depends on the physical screen + resolution), the simple answer is "you can t", at least, not on at the application level in a WinForms app.
What you can do, is add scaling code to your form, see this StackOverflow entry. Basically, set the AutoScaleMode to ScaleMode.Dpi. See the other entry for more info.
