Dirty lines- MFC and VC++.

[note3]

Hello VS-Programmer,

I have developed a VS program and made it running on Win8/VS 2013.
This program works fine on a Win8-laptop.
On the SP3 I have 2 problems:

1.) When I move the horizontal scrollbar from left to right I often get dirty vertical lines on the right side (close to the left side of the vertical scrollbar).
Not always, but often.
I never saw these lines on my laptop.

2.) The toolbar-icons on the SP3 are very small.
What is the best way to make them larger?

Did you design the program with high-dpi displays in mind? What kind of program is it? WPF, Windows Forms or Windows Store App?

It is a VC++ MFC-Application project and I use MM_LOMETRIC

I can't help with MFC and VC++. I'm working with C# and WPF most of the times.

Please see this post for info on enabling dpi_Aware in your app:

Note this is several years old, but is a good intro. You'll want to get the latest info from MSDN if you're using VS2012/VS2013.


Also, can you take a screen shot or use the snipping tool to show the visual glitches you're seeing with the scroll bars?


Either way, your best bet to get support is via the MSDN forums, not via this website. Your issue is likely not specific to Surface, but something that would be seen on any hi-dpi laptop.
