Large Radio Buttons

I have a site where people take tests, answering questions by clicking on the button.

Does anyone know of a control that will display larger (much larger) radio buttons or squares (checkboxes that behave like radio buttons)?

I'd be most happy with a .NET control solution but would also be ineterested in a jQuery or Ajax solution.

We occasionally get complaints from customers that it's hard to click on the buttons and I personally am starting to have difficulty clicking on them sometimes.

That makes the text larger but I was hoping to get the actual circles larger.

Any ideas?

Hello, ce4LessUser,

Please see the following snippet for an idea. For scale factors s other than 2, you will need to adjust the size of the TranslateTransform.

Cheers,

This was a good solution. I wanted the buttons to get bigger but this is good too.
