[Lazarus] Hi-DPI tweak of components

[Vojtěch Čihák]

Thanks,
 
please confirm me if I understand well the concept:
1) when component is put on the form in designer: it is scaled (Width & Height) 
2) when it is put on the form later in code: it is not scaled 
 
but internals are scaled in both cases (by internals I mean for example DefaultRowHeight and DefaultColWidth of TStringGrid)
 
Or at least TStringGrid behaves as I described above.
 
Because I need to scale internals of TGraphicControl (which has no own Canvas or Handle) I decided to do scaling in SetParent();.
 
For curiosity: was tested the case when someone has two or more monitors with different DPI and moves the form (made in Lazarus) from one monitor to another?
 
V.

IIRC, DoAutoAdjustLayout() is executed only when the DPI changes. You have to scale every hardcoded pixel value in the constructor/loading/intitialize as well.
