# Allowing the User to Zoom the Display of the Component

Learn how to allow users to zoom the display of the Spread component with the FpSpread class. Find out how to use the AllowUserZoom property to enable zooming in and out effortlessly.

## Content

You can allow the user to change the scale of the display of the Spread component, in other words to zoom in or zoom out.
Using the [AllowUserZoom](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Spread/FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpread.AllowUserZoom.html) property of the [FpSpread](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Spread/FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpread.html) class, allows the user to zoom in or out by pressing the Ctrl key and turning the mouse wheel. The user can zoom in up to 400% and out to 10% of the default display. The scroll bars are unaffected by zooming; only the corner, headers, and data area change their appearance with zooming.

## Using the Spread Designer

1. Select the **View** menu and then the **Zoom** option.
2. Set the percentage.
3. From the **File** menu choose **Apply and Exit** to apply your changes to the component and exit the Spread Designer.
