AppDimens.Net.WinForms

📖 Documentation: AppDimens.Net.WinForms guide · complete API reference · all AppDimens .NET packages

Windows Forms integration for AppDimens.Net — the pure C# port of AppDimens KMP. Sizes follow the form's client size and the monitor DPI, and are recalculated every time the form is resized.
Frameworks net8.0-windows, net9.0-windows, net10.0-windows (+ net11.0-windows with SDK 11)
Depends on AppDimens.Net, AppDimens.Net.Fluid, AppDimens.Net.Percent (installed automatically)

Step 1 — Install

dotnet add package AppDimens.Net.WinForms

Step 2 — Initialize and size controls

using AppDimens.Net.Code.Scaled;   // 16.Sdp(), 14.Ssp() (dp)
using AppDimens.Net.Code.Fluid;    // 24.FSdp()
using AppDimens.Net.WinForms;      // AppDimensWinForms, DimenPx

public partial class MainForm : Form
{
    public MainForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        AppDimensWinForms.Initialize(this);

        // Runs now and after every resize / DPI change:
        AppDimensWinForms.Apply(this, () =>
        {
            saveButton.Width  = DimenPx.ToPx(120.Sdp());       // dp → pixels
            saveButton.Height = DimenPx.ToPx(40.Hdp());
            saveButton.Font   = new Font(saveButton.Font.FontFamily, DimenPx.ToPt(14.Ssp())); // dp → points
            panel1.Padding    = DimenPx.Padding(16.Sdp());
            banner.Height     = DimenPx.Of(DimenFunction.FSdp, 80); // any function straight to pixels
        });
    }
}

Units cheat sheet

Value What it is Use with
16.Sdp() dp (device-independent, 1/96 inch) input of DimenPx
DimenPx.ToPx(dp) pixels for the form's monitor Width, Height, Size, Location
DimenPx.ToPt(dp) font points new Font(family, size)
DimenPx.Padding(dp) / DimenPx.Size(w, h) Padding / Size padding, margins, sizes
16.SdpPx() pixels (core API) same as DimenPx.ToPx(16.Sdp())

Which function?

Need Function
Most sizes Sdp
Follow form height / width Hdp / Wdp
Text Ssp
Grows gently on large forms FSdp (fluid)
Percent of the form SpaceW / SpaceH via DimenPx.Of(DimenFunction.SpaceW, 50)

Tips

  • Put all AppDimens assignments inside Apply so they are refreshed on resize.
  • If a control looks scaled twice on high-DPI monitors, set AutoScaleMode = AutoScaleMode.None on that form.

Português (resumo)

dotnet add package AppDimens.Net.WinForms → no construtor: AppDimensWinForms.Initialize(this); e coloque os tamanhos dentro de AppDimensWinForms.Apply(this, () => { ... }). Converta dp em pixels com DimenPx.ToPx(120.Sdp()) e fontes em pontos com DimenPx.ToPt(14.Ssp()).
