Hi, how do I simply Zoom out a window wpf. I do not want any slider control, all I want is the window to be zoomed out when program is executed. I would appreciate a piece of code for that in XAML.

I am using VS 2010 with .NET 3.5.

Thank you.

Simply wrapping your XAML content in a Viewbox will automatically zoom the contents out so they all fit in the viewable area:

XML

<Viewbox>
    <!-- Your content here -->
</Viewbox>

Simple as that. If you want to Zoom out dynamically or to a specific amount then you can use a ScaleTransform:

XML

<Grid>
    <Grid.RenderTransform>
        <ScaleTransform ScaleX="0.5" ScaleY="0.5" CenterX="0.5" CenterY="0.5" />
    </Grid.RenderTransform>
    <!-- Your content here -->
</Grid>
