I have a form that doesn't really fit fully on the screen with scaling set to 125% or more in Windows 10 in Full HD resolution, so I want another form to be loaded instead if users have scaling over 100%.
I already have code which checks if users have lower screen resolution, but I haven't been able to find a working way to deal with Windows scaling.
I found some code that's obtaining your current DPI, but for some reason it always seems to show 96 regardless of what scaling I use.
I have dual monitors and have tried changing scaling to 125% and 150% on both, but the number shown will always be 96 for some reason.
Does anyone know how to properly check this in another way? Perhaps by reading a Windows registry key or something like that?
Thank you
