Magnify.exe command line args


Does anyone know if there is any command line args that i could pass to the windows magnifier (magnify.exe) so it would open using the Lens view.

Or maybe some other way, I tried opening and sending a keyboard input using the shortcut to change the view, but often it blinks before changing the view! =/


Solution

  • Magnify.exe /? on the command line does not expose any sort of help for the executable. And a search online does not seem to provide evidence of any command line arguments. Leads me to conclude that magnify.exe does not take command line arguments.

    I recommend reading this article on sending keystrokes to another application. His demo app worked for me to send keyboard shortcuts to magnify.exe. His source code is available as well so you can integrate into your application.
