**tab(-10, AG\_DPM); mode; chr(127);**     [Tab(-10,x) Syntax Notes](ag_xxx_syntax-notes.md)

AG\_DPM (110) activates Windows "Dpi Per Monitor awareness," which generally results in smaller but sharper display objects on higher resolution screens.

**Parameters**

Mode is is one of the following:

| **Mode** | **Meaning** |
|------|------|
| \-1 | DPI Unaware |
| \-2 | DPI System Unaware |
| \-3 | DPI Per Monitor Aware |
| \-4 | DPI Per Monitor Aware Version 2 |
| \-5 | DPI Unaware GDI Scaled |


\-4 is equivalent to using the [dpm command line switch](dpi_per_monitor.md). -1 is equivalent to not using the -dpm switch. For details on the other options, see the Microsoft documentation for [SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext()](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-setthreaddpiawarenesscontext).

**Response**:

none

**Comments**

Note that as with all TAB(-10,xxx) commands, the implementation is on the client side, so no update of the server side is needed. If the client doesn't recognize the command, it will just be ignored.
