Using Quartus with 4k diaplays

--- Quote Start ---

I'm not aware of creating manifests, but have searched a little ...

Here is short resume of what I understood.

1. Manifest is a specific object that inform Windows how to handle program when it is started

2. Manifests can be incorporated in .exe or in .dll. But also (I presume it's my case) can be written in .xml files

3. When last option is selected, a .xml manifest file is named like this: application_name.exe.manifest and must be located in the same directory as application_name.exe.

4. In order to take into account high dpi issue, the option dpiaware is used in manifest file.

So to resolve the problem I must create the file c:\altera\15.1\quartus\bin64\quartus.exe.manifest with the following content:

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" >
  <asmv3:application>
    <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
      <dpiAware>true</dpiAware>
    </asmv3:windowsSettings>
  </asmv3:application>
</assembly>

And that's all, after this manipulation the problem disappears. Correct ?

Thanks.

Yep! Works like a charm. You simply place the file ~/quartus.exe.manifest in the same folder as the program file. (I'll be home later today and can check the proper file name). That is what would be called the manifest. It's an xml file. One thing you have to do is set the registry key to enable it though. After you enable it, you can make a manifest for any program that has high dpi problems

The registry key and contents of the *.manifest file needed are in my link above.
