How do I keep my Winform unaffected from Windows DPI setting changes ?

Hi,

I have a Winform on which a image is placed. Designed on Win 7 with DPI at 100%.

When the same Winform is displayed after changing the DPI to 125% or higher, I observe that the Image is displaced on the Winform.

The Winform was possibly Auto scaled due to DPI changes but the Image (which is embedded in the Resx file) wont get scaled.

Currently, The winform's AutoScaleMode is set to "Font" and the "AutoSizeMode" is set to "GrowOnly". I tried toggling these setting with no fruits.

Thus, How would I get the Image properly on my Winform in Higher DPI settings? OR How can I make this Winform remain unaffected from DPI changes ?

Please advise.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Change your Form's AutoScaleMode to Dpi.
