I get your point, but trapping the Visible assignment is just to fetch the values of the properties that may be scaled. It will be done only once, the first time the control is visible, just like the controls that were added at design time.

Anyway, this is the general idea, but I'm beginning to reckon it will be hard (= impossible) to do this without the application, as a whole, becoming DPI aware (and not just a part of it).
