Hi all

I am trying to change the size of the checkbox box itself, so that the
square becomes about 2 - 3 times larger than the standard size, so it
can be pressed with a finger.

Does anyone know how to change the size of this ox??

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Søren Augustesen

Maybe it would be better to consider replace checkbox with PictureBox
with two images (checked/unchecked)?

This is such a great question - for the CF will Microsoft consider providing
larger controls - for finger presses ? Most people lose after the first
week, or don't like using, the styluses.

I agree the checkbox and radiobutton should have an option to be shown
bigger/smaller at the OS level (part of this request):

Not to mention changes to the MsgBox - button size, according to our
customers, are too small. I will make that request.
