.netwebbrowser-controlwinforms
In IE7 there's a "zoom" feature built-in (show in the status bar), allowing you to zoom in up to 400%. I'm using the WebBrowser .NET control in a demo/simulation app, and need to zoom in on a web page. Is this at all possible?
(I don't want to simply take a picture of the page and enlarge it, as I need to use the links and buttons on the page).
I'm using .NET 2.0 if it matters.
I also tested Ross's solution and it worked for me too.
But here's another approach, instead of using the built-in functionality that popups a dialog box asking you to download, open or cancel the download, you can use your own C# code in your application (not the HTML page) to directly open the file (or maybe do something else).
As per Microsoft MSDN example:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Security.Permissions;
[PermissionSet(SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")]
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public class Form1 : Form
{
private WebBrowser webBrowser1 = new WebBrowser();
private Button button1 = new Button();
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
public Form1()
{
button1.Text = "call script code from client code";
button1.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
button1.Click += new EventHandler(button1_Click);
webBrowser1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
Controls.Add(webBrowser1);
Controls.Add(button1);
Load += new EventHandler(Form1_Load);
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser1.AllowWebBrowserDrop = false;
webBrowser1.IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled = false;
webBrowser1.WebBrowserShortcutsEnabled = false;
webBrowser1.ObjectForScripting = this;
// Uncomment the following line when you are finished debugging.
//webBrowser1.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true;
webBrowser1.DocumentText =
"<html><head><script>" +
"function test(message) { alert(message); }" +
"</script></head><body><button " +
"onclick=\"window.external.Test('called from script code')\">" +
"call client code from script code</button>" +
"</body></html>";
}
public void Test(String message)
{
MessageBox.Show(message, "client code");
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser1.Document.InvokeScript("test",
new String[] { "called from client code" });
}
}
I had the same problem (quite) a while back. Microsoft has a page that was very helpful with this:
I created a class out of Microsoft's sample, however I also had to add a couple if statements to stop processing when there are no more items; it's been a while now, but I'm pretty sure it would throw an error (see ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS in the code below).
I hope its helpful!

To use it in your code, just call:
IECache.ClearCache()
before calling the navigate methods.
Best Solution
There appears to be a solution at IE Zoom that involves overriding
AttachInterfacesandDetachInterfacesin theWebBrowserto get aIWebBrowser2interface, and then callingExecWBwithOLECMDID_OPTICAL_ZOOM.I've tried his sample code and it appears to work; the (abridged) relevant class looks like this:
