Zoom canvas area in Delphi

I making something that looks like Paint in Delphi. I found how to make zoom function:

procedure SetCanvasZoomFactor(Canvas: TCanvas; AZoomFactor: Integer);
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  if AZoomFactor = 100 then
    SetMapMode(Canvas.Handle, MM_TEXT)
  else
  begin
    SetMapMode(Canvas.Handle, MM_ISOTROPIC);
    SetWindowExtEx(Canvas.Handle, AZoomFactor, AZoomFactor, nil);
    SetViewportExtEx(Canvas.Handle, 100, 100, nil);
  end;
end;



procedure TMainForm.btnZoomPlusClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  bitmap: TBitmap;
begin 

  bitmap := TBitmap.Create;
  if(zoomVal < 1000) then
      zoomVal:=zoomVal+zoomConst; //zoomVal = 100 by default; zoomConst = 150;
  try
    bitmap.Assign(MainForm.imgMain.Picture.Bitmap);
    SetCanvasZoomFactor(bitmap.Canvas, zoomVal);
    Canvas.Draw(MainForm.imgMain.Left,MainForm.imgMain.Top, bitmap); 
  finally
    bitmap.Free
  end;
end;

But, the problem is - it zooms only upper left region of image.

Example before zoom: enter image description here after zoom: enter image description here

I want to be able to move through all picture area, even after zoom. How can I make this?

You can use SetWorldTransform for every DC. An example implementation for could look like this:

Procedure SetCanvasZoomAndRotation(ACanvas: TCanvas; Zoom: Double;
  Angle: Double; CenterpointX, CenterpointY: Double);
var
  form: tagXFORM;
  rAngle: Double;
begin
  rAngle := DegToRad(Angle);
  SetGraphicsMode(ACanvas.Handle, GM_ADVANCED);
  SetMapMode(ACanvas.Handle, MM_ANISOTROPIC);
  form.eM11 := Zoom * Cos(rAngle);
  form.eM12 := Zoom * Sin(rAngle);
  form.eM21 := Zoom * (-Sin(rAngle));
  form.eM22 := Zoom * Cos(rAngle);
  form.eDx := CenterpointX;
  form.eDy := CenterpointY;
  SetWorldTransform(ACanvas.Handle, form);
end;

Procedure ResetCanvas(ACanvas: TCanvas);
begin
  SetCanvasZoomAndRotation(ACanvas, 1, 0, 0, 0);
end;

You might define Zoom, X Y Offest and rotation for the desired Canvas before painting. In your case you would choose a Zoom, paint to canvas and on scrolling in/decrease the value for X and/or Y and call the procedure with the same zoom again and paint your graphic.

EDIT To show how to use the procedure. This code

procedure TForm2.PaintBox1Paint(Sender: TObject);
var
  i, w, h: Integer;
  C: TCanvas;
begin
  C := TPaintBox(Sender).Canvas;
  w := TPaintBox(Sender).Width;
  h := TPaintBox(Sender).Height;
  for i := 0 to 9 do
  begin
    SetCanvasZoomAndRotation(C, 1 + i / 5, i * 36, w div 2, h div 2);
    C.Draw(0, 0, Image1.Picture.Graphic);
    C.Brush.Style := bsClear;
    C.TextOut(50, 0, Format('Hi this is an example %d', [i]));
  end;
end;

is used to display following result: enter image description here

As response to your comment, how to use it with trackbars, you implement something like

procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  DoubleBuffered := true;
end;

procedure TForm2.PaintBox1Paint(Sender: TObject);
var             // a Paintbox aligned alClient
  C:TCanvas;
begin
  TrackBarHorz.Max := Round(Image1.Picture.Graphic.Width * SpinEditZoomInPercent.Value / 100 - TPaintBox(Sender).Width);
  TrackBarVert.Max := Round(Image1.Picture.Graphic.Height * SpinEditZoomInPercent.Value / 100 - TPaintBox(Sender).Height);
  C := TPaintBox(Sender).Canvas;
  SetCanvasZoomAndRotation(c , SpinEditZoomInPercent.Value / 100, 0
                           , - TrackBarHorz.Position
                           , - TrackBarVert.Position);
  C.Draw(0,0,Image1.Picture.Graphic);
end;

procedure TForm2.SpinEditZoomInPercentChange(Sender: TObject);
begin
   PaintBox1.Invalidate;
end;

procedure TForm2.BothTrackbarsEvent(Sender: TObject);
begin
   PaintBox1.Invalidate;
end;
