comand line? #1

Closed gogolo2 closed 3 years ago

Hi This is a great tool. Is it possible to start DPIScalingMFCApp.exe from command line without gui and set a dpi? Thx!

It certainly can be done. Let me think about it. Would a command line tool be good, or should I expose the API via COM/ATL? both will offer similar functionality.

Thx for your reply! A command line tool would be perfect.

I made a command line only project, though it only has one function, set a custom scaling to a specified monitor. I consider myself a beginner in C++, so a more refined version from the author himself would be nice to have. here is my project link https://github.com/imniko/SetDPI as it is my first project published to github, its not very pretty but it works.

Thx very much, this ist great! The possibility to operate it with AHK is exactely what I wanted to do and gives us so much possibilites. I hope other will find it useful too! Thx again.
