How to zoom to the cursor position after the graphics component has been transformed?
I want to be able to zoom to any of the test rectangles.

The panning is done with the Middle mouse button.
MouseWheel Event handles the zooming.
Ignore the DrawGrid method, it's just to get some visual reference.

Dim renderOrigin As New Point
Dim zoom As Single = 1.0F
Dim startPoint As New Point
Dim isDragging As Boolean = False
Dim gridSpacing As Integer = 50

Dim testRects() As Rectangle = New Rectangle() {New Rectangle(-150, -150, 70, 25), _
                                                New Rectangle(-10, -5, 70, 25), _

                                                New Rectangle(300, 80, 70, 25)}

    ' This call is required by the designer.
    InitializeComponent()

    ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.

Your question has to do with windows forms and not with WPF. BTW I would move coordinates first to the mouse's position and then transform.
