Hi Steve,
thank you for your attention and reply.
Sorry for the late response. I missed your posting, although notification was checked.
Anyway ...
The way to disable the automatic scaling of the screen elements is to develop the screen in the resolution that it will used.
Well, that was my assumption, but is not the reality.
I have a monitor with 1920x1200 rotated into portrait-mode.
So I built the screen (from scratch) with resolution 1200x1920
The "static text" will always perform an autoscale. Although not changed in size, the fontsize differs between edit- and work-mode and the scaled font will not be aligned to the font's baseline, so the letters get cropped (therefor I tried to use bitmaps instead of static texts)
The rotated screen orientation works fine in a virtualbox, but does not work on native windows box (this time it was win7). Rotation of screen is not performed by windows itself, but by the grafic driver (nvidia).
To me it looks like mach4 gets the screen-parameter from windows before rotation.
May be, it is necessary to ask a different layer?
Just guessing - I don't have any knowledge on that item.
Mach 4 Industrial has tool table, offset, and in screen editor controls.
I built tooltable- and offset-table control with little lua coding. Result is ok for me.
OK, may be I have to build my own gcode-control as well.
Cheers Reinhard
