SetProcessDPIAware - how to add it in manifest?

1

My Windows application has some problem, when Windows settings has non 100% scale. I fixed them using call of function SetProcessDPIAware before creating first window, but official documentation says, that it is not recommended way, and I should change a manifest: Setting the default DPI awareness for a process (Windows) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn
There is an XML on related page, but how can I use it in Rust project?

I haven't used it myself, but I believe winres can set the manifest for you

I looked to the example - is it the function which I should call from "build.rs", not from target application, isn't it?

Yes, I believe the manifest is embedded in the executable, and Windows reads it when launching the program

If you’re only compiling with the Rust MSVC target, you can also just do what rustc does in its build.rs and not need any other software: rust/build.rs at e3dfeeaa45f117281b19773d67f3f253de65cee1 · rust-lang/rust · GitHub

I also have a crate to do this for you for both GNU and MSVC, including when cross-compiling: https://crates.io/crates/embed-manifest
