DAW <> Plugin sync scaling

[Bart]

Need a plugin to scale to FL Studios scale factor, but the following doesn't work, it only displays a factor of 1.0.

Content.makeFrontInterface(480, 240);

const var lbl = Content.addLabel("lbl", 0, 0);

// Detect host scale
var hostScale = Settings.getZoomLevel(); 
lbl.set("text", hostScale);

// Apply scale to UI
Settings.setZoomLevel(hostScale);

Extra Definitions Windows:
HI_VIEW_IS_DPI_AWARE=1
JUCE_WIN_PER_MONITOR_DPI_AWARE=1

Toggling FL Studios DPI Aware setting doesn't help

Maybe Settings.getZoomLevel(); gets the plugin scaling, not the DAW?

Settings.getZoomLevel() returns the current zoom level of your plugin, I don't believe there is away to get the scaling factor of the daw.

@David-Healey Ok thanks.

Do you know if its possible to detect a screens resolution, to implement a full screen toggle option?

[David Healey]

@Bart Content.getScreenBounds(true)

@David-Healey Oh lol, brilliant thanks!

One last thing, is there a source of information about setting Extra Definitions?
I'm probably searching in the wrong places, apologies.

[David Healey]

@Bart There is no single source, there is scattered information on the forum and the docs. What do you want to know?

@David-Healey

Basically a list of what definitions exist and what they do..

I don't believe there is away to get the scaling factor of the daw.

Assuming it's neither possible to get the OS scaling factor?

Not as far as I'm aware. I think JUCE might make it available so it could be possible to add it to HISE.

There is an out of date Google sheet somewhere that lists a lot of them. There are also some that are toggleable from the Help >> About menu in HISE.

Awesome! Thanks for your input David!

Really appreciate your video tutorials also.. I would have likely never attempted plugin dev scripting otherwise, great work ;)

Hise for the WIN
