SetProcessDPIAware function (winuser.h)

  • Article

Sets the process-default DPI awareness to system-DPI awareness. This is equivalent to calling SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext with a DPI_AWARENESS_CONTEXT value of DPI_AWARENESS_CONTEXT_SYSTEM_AWARE.

Note

It is recommended that you set the process-default DPI awareness via application manifest, not an API call. See Setting the default DPI awareness for a process for more information. Setting the process-default DPI awareness via API call can lead to unexpected application behavior.
