    In an existing vb.net 2010 desktop application, I have users that would like all the screens to be larger since some of them say the cannot see the screens. Thus is there something like a 'zoom' enlarge feature that can be added to the application without having to enlarge all the screens in the application? If so, can you tell me how to accomplish this goal? If not, would you tell me that also?

      Even better; Windows has some tools built-in to help people with visual limitations, including a magnifier[^]. If that doesn't help them enough, you could change the DPI-setting and/or change the color-scheme to a high-contrast version.

        The problem is the user has no problems with the other applications. They only want application size to be increased.

          This is usually not a problem that a user has "per application"; sorry, but can't help there.

            The first thing you need to do is to look at your GUI design to see why the "screens" (not sure what you mean by that) are so small that users cannot see them.
