#828 Support 4k UHD (ultra HD) laptop displays

[Scott Criswell]

Update UI to support 4k UHD (ultra HD) displays which are gradually becoming more common in the more powerful laptops, such as those used by BW & KN.
On these screens, UI tree, text, buttons, etc. display extremely small - highly unusable.

Workaround is known to function that requires Windows registry edits and use of a program manifest (XML) file, but preferred approach is for UI to support the UHD displays natively, primarily to avoid requiring Windows Registry edits in order to get CBECC tools to run properly.

Win10 has since integrated better UHD compatibility through their executable properties mechanism.
1) RIght (mouse) click on the program executable & choose Properties from the selection list
2) Compatibility tab
3) click on button in last control grouping "Change high DPI settings"
4) click checkbox near bottom "Override high DPI scaling behavior"
5) and choose Scaling performed by: "System (Enhanced)"
6) press OK through the multiple layers of dialog
subsequent runs of the program should display more like it does on non-UHD monitors
