Not support Font Zoom Size in Win10

[Yari27]

ColorPicker incorrectly converts the cursor position at magnification other than 100% DPI.

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to log the issue! However, this is actually a duplicate of #12

I spent quite a bit of time trying to get this to "just work", but unfortunately I can't get Windows to stop "lying" to me unless I use a manifest which states the application is DPI-aware. This is not something the Color Picker Controls can do; only their host application. If you add a manifest stating that your application supports high DPI, then this works absolutely fine. However, you have to be certain that your application really does support it. Quite a few of mine do UI positioning by hand and completely break in high DPI.

There is a branch of the controls where I've been dabbling in making the controls (especially the ColorGrid) work better when used in a high DPI application, but it's still dependant on the client manifest.

Unfortunately I just don't have a solution to make them work in a program that doesn't report it is DPI-aware. My advice for now is to try adding a manifest and see how your application fares with it.

Just need some calculation and for me work great: In the farthest corner of the screen, one pixel is missing, but it can be rounded off.

Hello,

Thanks for posting this, that's interesting. I'll test that out when I get a moment and integrate it into the Color Picker controls if I don't find any issues with it. Definitely would be nice to get this one addressed.

After changing

return zoomH == zoomW ? zoomH : 100;

to

return Math.Max(zoomW, zoomH);

I managed to use this code snippet to fix the ScreenColorPicker control by replacing the call to

MousePosition

to

DisplayTools.GetRoundedRealPoint(MousePosition)

So thank you, @Yari27 for the code snippets.
