Hey,
I am developing a new front end for our system that will be used on touch screen tablets. As part of the design of course we have larger buttons etc.

However when i try and increase the size of the radio options and checkboxes while the border apears to increase in size the size of the circle itself does not seem to increase...

Is this a limitation of access? is there any workaround i can use? i want to make the radios pushable with a finger for someone in their 80's and 90's


thanks in advance

Howdy Movian,

I was realy hoping someone would answer this.

So with that said and FWIW:

The only way I can see to do it is to use a picture control that accepts wmf's. When selected you can toggle between 3d and flat for the "effect" of picking the picture.

I prefer wmf's because the Windows enviroment seems to accept those without trying to fix it for you. So when you get it set in the control the way you want it it doesn't change on different resolutions. That is to say the last time I looked into this issue.
