Issue/Introduction

We are trying to plan for an upgrade from Aion Build 122 (MS VS 2010) to Aion Build 200 (VS2019). Our first tests show that the windows generated by the two different compiled versions have different proportions. I attached a small app that generates a small dialog box but the dimensions on the screen of both versions are different. What can be done to fix this. Since our application relies heavily on screens this will impact the timeline for the conversion.

Environment

Release : 11.0

Component : AION BUSINESS RULES EXPERT

Resolution

It is recommended  that the following change be implemented.

Change the build file mscmkapp.bat as described: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\AionBRE\build\mscmkapp.bat

On line no 173, the customer should add the linker option "/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01" as shown below. After this Aion app needs to be rebuilt. The new EXE file created after the build should create a dialog window with the proper size.  

:rc_done
rem //@ IP000003 
  %linkmod% /nod %LKPARMS% /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01 @build.lnk >>mkapp.err
