Add a Magnifying Glass Using Expression Blend

Take the following steps to create and run a program in Microsoft Expression Blend to add a magnifying glass effect using LEADTOOLS ImageViewer.

Using Microsoft Expression Blend, open a project that includes an Image Viewer. If you wish, you can open the project you created in the tutorials on Displaying an Image or Linking an Image List to an Image Viewer.
On the Properties tab, select Interactive Mode...InteractiveMode...MagnifyGlass.
Press F5 to build the application.
When the window appears, left-click anywhere on the image to display the magnifying glass, and:
- Drag to change the magnified area.
- Hold down the left mouse button, and at the same time right-click, to set the magnifying glass to a fixed position.
