I have a CAD program I made some time ago. I ported to VS2019. Now I updated my PC to ASUS. Now I noticed that my CAD screen icons are very small. I probably was using the default size. Where do I control the icon size?
Thank you.

Thank you so much for the info. I will look into these posts... Right now, my toolbar is so small I can hardly recognize the contents of all icons I created long ago.
Hi,
According to your description, If you want to change the size of mfc icon? If so, I suggest you could try to use LoadImage function instead of LoadIcon function.

My icons' bitmap is designed by 16x16 bits. That's why when I run this MFC-based cad program, all icons are displayed so small with my new high-res PC. Is there any way to make them bigger without having to redefine all my icon bitmaps?

Icons can have multiple resolution bitmap images. Add larger images to them.
My MFC OpenGL cad program is a decade old, but whenever the PC resolution goes up, we have to update the toolbar icons to match?
That does not make sense... Isn't there some mechanism in MFC to automatically adjust the toolbar icon size on the screen?
According to your description, you may try to enable DPI Awareness (properties -> Manifest Tool -> Input and Output -> DPI Awareness -> High DPI Aware).
For more details, I suggest you could refer to the blog: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/mfc-applications-now-default-to-being-dpi-aware/
