[SOLVED] Adjusting worksheet zoom level based on screen resolution

Adjusting worksheet zoom level based on screen resolution

I have an Excel 2003 macro to adjust my screen zoom based on the screen resolution.

Sub Macro1()
   Dim maxWidth As Long, myWidth As Long
   Dim myZoom As Single

   maxWidth = Application.UsableWidth * 0.96
   'I use r because upto r i have macro buttons
   myWidth = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("r1").Left
   myZoom = maxWidth / myWidth
   ActiveWindow.Zoom = myZoom * 100
End Sub

When I try in Excel 2003, button size & its caption are not zooming properly. And Application.UsableWidth is always returning 1026 as width for either the screen resolution 1024*768 or 1366*768. Any ideas?

I want the Excel sheet to be fit in width if open in any system screen resolution

Solution

You can add this Windows API call to your code which can determine the screen resolution.

Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "USER32" _
 (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long

  Sub Macro1()
    Dim maxWidth As Long
    Dim myWidth As Long
    Dim myZoom As Single

    maxWidth = GetSystemMetrics(0) * 0.96
    myWidth = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("R1").Left
    myZoom = maxWidth / myWidth
    ActiveWindow.Zoom = myZoom * 100

  End Sub
