We had designed a Windows Form application such that it is suitable for all the resolutions. Now, we came across a situation where the custom html is not getting displayed in the WebBrowser control when we choose 125% or 150% for the font size . It is getting displayed correctly when i choose 100% as shown in screenshot below
I had set the screen resolution to 1440x900 and changed the setting to 125% as shown in screenshot below. In this case a blank page is getting displayed in WebBrowser control. I am using the following code to display the html content in the WebBrowser control
WebBrowser1.DocumentText =
"<html><body>Please enter your name:<br/>" +
"<input type='text' name='userName'/><br/>" +
"<a href='http://www.microsoft.com'>continue</a>" +
"</body></html>"
Can you please suggest on why the html content is not getting displayed when i choose 125% whereas it is getting displayed when i choose 100% and provide a solution for it?

I did a test with your description and it worked fine.
My test environment: Visual Studio Community 2019 Preview 16.9.0, Windows 10, .NET Framework4.8.
And I displayed the html content in Form1_Load event.private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { webBrowser1.DocumentText = "<html><body>Please enter your name:<br/>" + "<input type='text' name='userName'/><br/>" + "<a href='http://www.microsoft.com'>continue</a>" + "</body></html>"; }Here is test result:
So in order to find the problem more accurately, please provide more details to reproduce the situation.
Best Regards,

For some machines the DPI scaling is set to 125% by default. From the screenshot you have provided, you had changed your DPI scaling from 100% to 125% but you didn't sign out and sign in again. Please check once

I tested it again according to your requirements, and the same result that it can be displayed normally. So please provide more information or a simple demo to reproduce it.
