[solved] GetPixel problem, manifest problem

[minor28]

This is the manifest I usually use.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
   <assemblyIdentity
      version="1.0.0.0"
      processorArchitecture="*"
      name="Company.Product.Name"
      type="win32"/>
   <description></description>
   <dependency>
      <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity
            type="win32"
            name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
            version="6.0.0.0"
            processorArchitecture="*"
            publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
            language="*"/>
      </dependentAssembly>
   </dependency>
</assembly>


Now I need to run the application in different DPI modes to get GetPixel API to work correct. According to the documentation, it is advised not to use SetProcessDPIAware API but adjust the manifest instead. There are four modes. This is how I think the adjustment would be made.

No effect on GetPixel. With <dpiAwareness></dpiAwareness> you can't even open the window.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
