I used AutoIt's _ScreenCapture_Capture()
before without any trouble. But on Windows 10 with a 4k resolution screen I'm using DPI scaling at 200%. _ScreenCapture_capture()
now gets something 2x zoomed in and half the location I asked for.
For instance :
_ScreenCapture_Capture("c:\a.bmp", 100, 100, 200, 200)
; Path, X1, Y1, X2, Y2
Does not return a 100x100 pixel square of the screen (at 100,100
to 200,200
). It returns a 100x100 pixel square (at 50,50
to 100,100
) instead.
I did find a solution :
DllCall("User32.dll", "bool", "SetProcessDPIAware")
However this screws up the GUI looks. So I then found this code:
GUISetFont(8.5 * _GDIPlus_GraphicsGetDPIRatio()[0])
Func _GDIPlus_GraphicsGetDPIRatio($iDPIDef = 96)
Local $aResults[2] = [1, 1]
_GDIPlus_Startup()
Local $hGfx = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND(0)
If @error Then Return SetError(1, @extended, $aResults)
#forcedef $__g_hGDIPDll, $ghGDIPDll
$aResult = DllCall($__g_hGDIPDll, "int", "GdipGetDpiX", "handle", $hGfx, "float*", 0)
If @error Then Return SetError(2, @extended, $aResults)
Local $iDPI = $aResult[2]
Local $aresults[2] = [$iDPIDef / $iDPI, $iDPI / $iDPIDef]
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGfx)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()
Return $aresults
EndFunc ;==>_GDIPlus_GraphicsGetDPIRatio
Which works great for the GUI but doesn't help for _ScreenCapture_Capture()
calls. Seems I can either have a good looking- or a functioning program, not both.
How could I combine these two solutions to get both a good GUI and a functioning program? If I knew how to do the opposite of :
DllCall("User32.dll", "bool", "SetProcessDPIAware")
Then when I need to capture a screen portion I could turn on compatibility, then immediately turn it off when done capturing. But I don't know how to 'UNsetprocessdpiaware'.
