Determine User Display Scaling (Zoom)

Posted on 7 Jul 2023 20:10:36 by 82

Is there a method to determine a user's display scaling in a PowerApp?  I created a responsive app that properly handles a wide range of screen resolutions.  However, I have a user who's monitor is 1920x1080, but sets the display scaling in their Windows settings (Settings > Display > Scale and layout > Change the size of text, apps, and other items) to 150%, which causes all sorts of display anomalies.  If there is a way to capture that scaling value in the app, then I can possibly adapt the app for it or provide instruction to the user as to how to fix it?

    If you have "scale to fit" turned off, all you need to do is make sure your app is responsive. When they zoom in, it reduces the width and height of the app size.

    How did you solve this? I am also facing a similar issue

    As far as I know, there's no simple way (other than using JavaScript) to detect the users' scaling settings.

     

    With that said, you can test the different scales by using the zoom feature built into your web browser.
