## Content

You can show a text message to notify "the Form is zooming" to users when the **C1Zoom.ZoomPreviewMode** property is set to **AlternativeContent**. Once the **C1Zoom.ZoomPreviewMode** property is set to **AlternativeContent** you can then modify the content’s Font, ForeColor and Text. If you use "{Percentage}" in the **C1ZoomAlternativeContent.Format** property, the string is replaced to the current zoom factor percentage.

To programatically set the format to the "{ZoomFactor}" string for the [C1Zoom.AlternativeContentSettings](/componentone/docs/win/online-touchtoolkit/) property, use the following code:

[C#]

```csharp
using C1.Win.TouchToolKit;

c1Zoom1.ZoomPreviewMode = ZoomPreviewMode.AlternativeContent;
c1Zoom1.AlternativeContentSettings.Font = new Font("Arial", 20.0f);
c1Zoom1.AlternativeContentSettings.ForeColor = Color.Black;
c1Zoom1.AlternativeContentSettings.Format = "Zooming x{ZoomFactor}";
```

[Visual Basic]

```vbnet
Imports C1.Win.TouchToolKit

C1Zoom1.ZoomPreviewMode = ZoomPreviewMode.AlternativeContent
C1Zoom1.AlternativeContentSettings.Font = New Font("Arial", 20.0F)
C1Zoom1.AlternativeContentSettings.ForeColor = Color.Black
C1Zoom1.AlternativeContentSettings.Format = "Zooming x{ZoomFactor}"
```

The following image illustrates the modified content’s Font, ForeColor, and Format settings for the AlternativeContent:
