madExcept Window to small on High-DPI

[UliBru]

I use madExcept 5.1.4. My application uses Delphi 12 with DPI Awareness Per Monitor V2.
The display of the program is correct.
But in case of an exception the upcoming madExcept window is close to unreadable.
How to get a bigger window size for madExcept?

Thanks for any tip.

Same here. the scale factor isn't taken into consideration.

Can you try this:

1) Copy madExcept.pas and mad.inc into your project folder.
2) In madExcept.pas search for "stdac(THandle(-4))" and comment that line out, while leaving the "stdac(THandle(-1))" line in place like this:

Code: Select all

  if @stdac <> nil then begin
    stdac(THandle(-1));
    //stdac(THandle(-4));
  end;

Does that workaround the issue?

Indeed, it does.

Thank you very much for your quick solution.

Glad to hear that, will change it in the next build.

Yes, it also helps here.
Thanks a lot

Here's a Microsoft sample project with full code in case anyone wants to test all DPI Awareness parameters, this way you can see how the system treats each one of them visually. You can then change stdac(THandle(N)) to whatever value you prefer, if needed.
