I am currently working on a windows Phone App that is supposed to have a flipping liveTile. Here's how it is supposed to work:
The Front will be generated from UI Elements that are filled with Data pulled from a Web API. That Backside will be generated from an Image downloaded from the Web. the Idea ist to have one Image for the small liveTile size and one for the big live tile.
Can someone give me a hint, how i can update the livetile automatically without having to have the app opened? I can't do it with a Push notification because i don't have a server to do the pushing in the first place. I tried using the ShellTileSheduler and RemotImageURI property but this doesn't work for different sizes. Am i missing something? Has anyone done somehting like this and has an idea how to do it? I'm getting really frustrated.
Here is a good start to generate tile

Problem
I'm having the problem for days and haven't found anyone else mentioned it..
The issue is that when I set the system dpi scaling to 150% or above, some webpages I open in CHtmlView would be messed up, while using IE or Chrome not causing the same problem.
Context
It seems like in CHtmlView the fonts get bigger than it's needed. I figured out this situation happens if my program's "high DPI-aware" property is set. But I can't turn it off either because the webpage would be blurry.
The strange part is when I tested msdn or google paged in CHtmlView, they neither caused the problem nor scale 150%. They just displayed as the 100% one.
Not sure if I should do something to my program or the webpage. The webpage needed to be displayed in my program is also from my company, so if I know what to set in the webpage I could handle it.
Thank you :)
Edit:
Because the website I'm having problem with is a private site, so I use another page to explain the situation.
Webpage in HtmlView, seem like only fonts get bigger.
Webpage in IE
I'm here as I've got the same problem.
You can create a new VS2017 MFC project, derive a view from CHtmlView, you'll find this in the constructed code
void CMFCApplication4View::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CHtmlView::OnInitialUpdate();
Navigate2(_T("http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/"),nullptr, nullptr);
}
(Note I had to delete the two trailing nullptr arguments to get it to compile)
My application manifest lists the app as being High DPI Aware and I've got a 200% (192dpi) scaled monitor.
The web page that loads is tiny (unscaled).
zett42's answer (Aug 31 '17 at 14:39) is correct. Add the registry key indicated, using
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
MFCApplication4.exe=11001 [your application name here].
Restart the app, hey presto everythin is correctly scaled.
Dunno why I can't upvote zett42.
On the windows phone when you press and hold the back button a collection of tiles will appear that represent apps that were recently run or are running in the background. Generally the tiles will show a preview of the app in the visual state it was in when it last navigated away from. I have seen some apps however that will show their logo on this tile regardless of the state the app was in when navigated away from. I have been beating my head against the internet trying to find how this is done. Perhaps I am missing the proper terms to search for in order point myself in the correct direction. Does anyone know how to accomplish swapping the back button history preview image or perhaps help me find the correct search terms to locate help on this?
I am trying to figure out a way to create links to point to help files in my application based off the text on the screen.
Lets say my application reports the status of a car if it is running or not. If it is running everything is ok, but if it is not running it will display a reason such as:
In Park
Door is open.
Shut off.
Flat tire
When it displays the reason on the main page I want it to have a link pointing to the help file which will include a resolution to get the car back up and running.
The problem I am having is the the reasons change on the fly and update in real time. The resolutions for the problems are all different.
To give some background, the application is asp.net web application. I tried searching the web and I tried linking it to a simple page which had the links to the correct pages but that requires more user involvement. I want it to be click the problem and bring it right to the page.
Any information or suggestions would be great.
Thanks
I am using Info.display("", "My message");to display GXT Info box on screen but it is observed that the info box is not rendered properly (with a transparent background not readable properly) in some of user system.
This issue is solved when user clear browser cache and delete temp folder files and start a new session, but the problem is replicated again after some time interval.What could be the reason? I am not able to debug because Message div is deleted in a fraction of 3-4 seconds.I am using sencha 3.0 version.
Your problem sounds similar to the one described in this Sencha GTX 3.x bug report:

You may wish to follow its progress if this issue is still important to you.
I am new to creating apps on facebook, and I have finally figured out how to have my page post to the canvas of my app. The problem is, within the app canvas, it looks its pulling data from the whole window in the canvas. So it looks like a window within the canvas. I need some help trying to get this right, this is my first app! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!
In your App settings under Page Tab, you are setting your Page Tab URL as the Canvas Page which is wrong.
It should point to your server so it should like like: https://secure.dealerpro.net/facebook-credit-app.aspx?hostname=www.battlegroundkia.com
