For users with low vision, the enlarged image size and color effects can help make the computer easier to see and use.
Developer audience
The Magnification API is designed primarily for C and C++ developers who understand Windows programming and who are familiar with graphics programming concepts.
Run-time requirements
The initial release of the Magnification API is supported on Windows Vista and later operating systems. A second release adds fullscreen magnification capabilities and is supported on Windows 8 and later.
The API is supported by Magnification.dll. To compile your application, include Magnification.h and link to Magnification.lib.
Note
The Magnification API is not supported under WOW64; that is, a 32-bit magnifier application will not run correctly on 64-bit Windows.
