    win7 and win10 about dpi

    I have two computers. one is win7 dpi 96 100%, the other is win10 dpi 120 125%!

    now test

    first in win7, open a new project. set a picture control in the form, set picture control autosize is false. load a picture. save the project. then copy this project to win10. and open the project ;you will find the control will not scale to DPI.

    next in win10, open a new project, do the same, and copy this project to win7. will find AutoSize property is True or false, the control will scale to DPI.

    yeah, dpi is well known an issue, not just between windows version but monitor resolutions as well.
    I have this problem between 2 computer using the same version of windows 7 that both uses the same DPI, but the monitor resolution is different.
    the controls are all wrong and each time I fix them in one computer it will make them wrong in the other.

    theres tons of thread about DPI, how to fix it, manifests etc.

    I read this thread, but It was different from the content in this post

    I used manifests, but no changes.
    so I think may be developing on win 10 can be avoided this dpi problem.
    in win 10. the controls will scale to DPI.

    The problem here is that if you develop in one DPI setting and after that you load the same project in another DPI setting, VB scales automatically all the design time properties values (regarding size and position) to the new setting.

    Then, in your case, the picture that you load into the PictureBox is an image in pixels, and while VB scaled the PictureBox control (the rectangle), it did not scale the image inside the PictureBox, that remains in pixels.
