Getting the DPI setting?

[JezB]

Running my windows forms on screens set to 133 DPI has some odd effects
(scroll-bars suddenly appearing because objects overflow their containers).
Setting the AutoScaleMode to dpi doesn't seem to fix the problems either. Is
it possible to evaluate the DPI setting within the code and make the
relevant adjustments to your measurements ? C# if possible please

The code below can be used inside a form to determine the current DPI
settings:

\\\
using (Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics())
{
x = g.DpiX;
y = g.DpiY;
}
///

In addition to the code above check out the form's 'AutoScale' property.

Hi Herfried,

Is there anyway the form can maintain the looks on different DPIs?

Thank You,
