RadForm: FormStartPosition.CenterParent is not respected when DPI scaling is higher than 100%

Please run the sample project on 100% and 150% DPI scaling. You will notice that with 100% the shown form is centered to its parent, but with 150% it is shifted:

Hello, Dan,

I confirm that this is an issue when showing a form on a monitor with higher than 100% DPI scaling.

Currently, the possible solution that I can suggest is to calculate and adjust the location programmatically:

        private void btnLaunchDialog_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //workaround
            RadForm1 f = new RadForm1();
            f.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
            int x = this.Location.X + this.Size.Width / 2 - f.Size.Width / 2;
            int y = this.Location.Y + this.Size.Height / 2 - f.Size.Height / 2;
            f.DesktopLocation = new Point(x, y);
            f.Shown += F_Shown;
            f.Opacity = 0;
            f.ShowDialog();
        }

        private void F_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            RadForm f = sender as RadForm; 
            int x = this.Location.X + this.Size.Width / 2 - f.Size.Width / 2;
            int y = this.Location.Y + this.Size.Height / 2 - f.Size.Height / 2;
            f.DesktopLocation = new Point(x, y);
            f.Opacity = 1;
        }

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
