Hi, I'm trying to use this code to get the monitor resolution to resize a userform, but when I compile it, I get a GetSystemMetrics32 sub or function not defined.
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
'Function to get screen resolution
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics32 Lib "user32" Alias "GetSystemMetrics" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long


'Functions to get DPI
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetDeviceCaps Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hDC As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Private Declare PtrSafe Function ReleaseDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hDC As Long) As Long
Private Const LOGPIXELSX = 88  'Pixels/inch in X
Private Const POINTS_PER_INCH As Long = 72 'A point is defined as 1/72 inches

Here is the calling code:
VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim w As Long, h As Long
    w = GetSystemMetrics32(0) ' Screen Resolution width in points
    h = GetSystemMetrics32(1) ' Screen Resolution height in points
With Me
    .StartUpPosition = 2
    .Width = w * PointsPerPixel * 0.5 'Userform width= Width in Resolution * DPI * 50%
    .Height = h * PointsPerPixel * 0.5 'Userform height= Height in Resolution * DPI * 50%
End With
End Sub
Any clues to what I'm doing wrong?
