I found this code here in this forum which maximizes the userform to cover the whole screen. It worked for me but I have a multi page form and the multi page did not expand. So I wanna know if it can also expand as well. Then what happens to the controls on it. Will they too expand?
Code:
Option Explicit

[URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=If]#If[/URL]   VBA7 Then
    Private Declare PtrSafe Function WindowFromAccessibleObject Lib "oleacc" (ByVal pacc As IAccessible, phwnd As LongPtr) As Long
    Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
    Private Declare PtrSafe Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As LongPtr, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As LongPtr, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
    Private Declare PtrSafe Function IsWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As LongPtr) As Long
    Private hwnd As LongPtr
[URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=Else]#Else[/URL]   
    Private Declare Function WindowFromAccessibleObject Lib "oleacc" (ByVal pacc As IAccessible, phwnd As Long) As Long
    Private Declare Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
    Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
    Private Declare Function IsWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
    Private hwnd As Long
[URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=End]#End[/URL]   If

Private Const SM_CXSCREEN = 0
Private Const SM_CYSCREEN = 1

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Call WindowFromAccessibleObject(Me, hwnd)
    If IsWindow(hwnd) Then
        SetWindowPos hwnd, 0, 0, 0, GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN), 0
    End If
End Sub

And also on my pc the lines after the #Else are lighted red and was prompted to update them and mark them as PtrSafe. Somebody help me out.

I get the error when I call this module. When I comment it out, I get the userform maximized with the control buttons but the multi page does not expand.
Code:
    Call StoreInitialControlMetrics

Yes I have all the code in the UserForm Module

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"

Hi Kelly,

the StoreInitialControlMetrics sub works for me fine.. Try dimming the oCtrl variable As Object instead of As Control in both the UserForm_Resize event and in the StoreInitialControlMetrics subs and see if the error stops .. like this :
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Resize()
    Dim oCtrl As Object

Code:
Private Sub StoreInitialControlMetrics()
    Dim oCtrl As Object

Do you think there may be some unusual object I have on the form which is causing this?

Oh I just found the cause: I have image controls. I added one to your file and it proved to be the cause.
Is there a way around it?

So you are saying that the workbook demo worked for you - right ? If so there is probably a control on the form or some other code that is interfering.

By the way, did you replace oCtrl As Control with oCtrl as Object ?

Edit :
Try adding On Error Resume Next at the top of the UserForm_Resize and StoreInitialControlMetrics routines and see what happens.

After adding the error handler it expanded all controls except the image control and the listbox

Ok I see what is happening ... The error is coming from when trying to set the Font Size on te Image control which doesn't have a Font Property . I have missed that.

I am about to leave in a moment but I'll get back to this later so keep an eye on this thread.

Fresh Workbook Demo

The following updated code should solve the image\Spin and Scrollbar controls Font issue
