Dear Group

I am writing an application a visually impaired staff member using
csharp and windows forms.

In this application everything needs to be large to make working
easier.

We have made everything larger expect the checkbox boxes.

We have text in 20 point font and an extremely small checkbox sitting
next them.

Is it possible to increase the size of the actual check box?

Doubling the current size is what I would be looking at.

Any points on how to acheive this would be most appreciated.


Thanks

Mark
 
You can not do anything with this control due it's system nature.
If you want to build your own checkbox, just do it using GDI+. This will be
the fastest and easiest way to get what you need.

You can't change the size of standard GUI elements but they will
change size automatically if you either:

(a) Change the Windows font size in Display Properties: Appearance

(b) Increase the DPI setting in Display Properties: Settings: Advanced

Have you considered these options?

In this kind of situation, Command Buttons can be used like check boxes. It
is big enough to read as well as you can have the checked state support.

Have u tried this?
