Atook, thanks for the reply, and my apologies, but for this question I was talking about a true Visual Basic application (not CAD). There's alot of code out there for "magnifying glass" or "zoom to the center of the screen" applications, but I want the good old standard "Zoom to a user-defined rectangle".
Still looking for suggestions... :lol:

Ahh, I understand now, not CAD, just windows in general?

I'm not sure what you'd use. Have you looked into the accessibility/magnifier stuff in windows? If they've exposed any of it in an API you might be able to use that. Again, it's out of my league so I'm just guessing.
