My Today's Webinar on VCL High-DPI in RAD Studio 10.3

Later Today (in the evening for those in Europe) I'll give a webinar focused on High-DPI and Multi-Monitor support in VCL, with specific focus on new features in 10.3.

 I really enjoy you have listened to the request of HDPI 
support and DPI aware imagelists. 10.3 RIO solves 
many HDPI problems in my apps and 
TImageCollection and TVirtualImageList are so nice. 
What I miss now is a TBitBtn with a DPI aware image. 
See RSP-23319.

Did you plan to support DPI and high DPI for Ray
Konopka's signature components?

 Marco,

1) When will you release updtaed RAD Studio RoadMap for 
2019?

2) I have suggestion for you: Please start fixing bugs in Delphi 
faster and more often,
In my opinion this will be better than making tons of new unneded 
features.
Of course new things are needed but they should be added 
carefully.
People pay lot of $ for this and expect to see difference in bugs 
comparing to Lazaurs for example.
Great potential of Delphi is wasted with current management 
IMHO

Stability and performance of executed code is the key for all 
developers

Question About Your High-DPI Webinar 

I watched your Webinar for RAD 10.3 High-DPI. Do we need to 
manually make changes to our program's manifest file to use two 
monitors or the High-DPI components. Below is the manifest my 
program uses. Are any changes needed?   


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" 
manifestVersion="1.0">
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity
        type="win32"
        name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
        version="6.0.0.0"
        publicKeyToken="hidden"
        language="*"
        processorArchitecture="*"/>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

Comma don't work in NumberPad or DecimalNumberPad 

 Hi Cantù, how are you?

In Delphi 10.3 rio the comma isn'to working. Just dot
is working. Can you help with a solution?

 Is the 10.3 Rio already IDE HDPI aware?

I have these monitors:

Main Monitor: Monitor 1: LG ULTRAWIDE(38UC99)(Display Port) (3840 x 1600 pixel) (87 x 37 cm)

Second monitor: Monitor 2: PHL BDM3270 (1440 x 2560 pixel) (71 x 40 cm)

I have the Delphi 10.3 Rio IDE on the main monitor, of course.

This is how the Desktop Layout controls look on the Delphi 10.3 Rio IDE:

And after the IDE start these controls are not visible at all. Only when I move the IDE window with the mouse they become visible.

This HDPI issue also makes the GetIt Package Manager items in Delphi 10.3 Rio only partially visible:

Is there a way to fix these issues?
