Parameters

[in] Integer that specifies the system metric that you want to retrieve. The following table shows the possible values.Value Description SM_CXBORDER The width, in pixels, of a window border. This is equivalent to the SM_CXEDGE value for windows with the 3-D look. SM_CXDLGFRAME The width, in pixels, of the horizontal border around the perimeter of a window that has a title bar that cannot be resized. SM_CXEDGE The width, in pixels, of a 3-D border. This value is the 3-D counterpart of SM_CXBORDER. SM_CXHSCROLL The width, in pixels, of the arrow bitmap on a horizontal scroll bar. SM_CXICON The default width, in pixels, of an icon. SM_CXICONSPACING The width, in pixels, of a grid cell for items in large icon view. Each item fits into a rectangle of this size when it is arranged. These values are always greater than or equal to SM_CXICON and SM_CYICON. SM_CXSMICON The recommended width, in pixels, of a small icon. Small icons typically appear in window captions and in small icon view. SM_CXVSCROLL The width, in pixels, of a vertical scroll bar. SM_CYBORDER The height, in pixels, of a window border. This value is equivalent to the SM_CYEDGE value for windows with the 3-D look. SM_CYCAPTION The height, in pixels, of a normal title bar area. SM_CYDLGFRAME The height, in pixels, of the vertical border around the perimeter of a window that has a title bar that cannot be resized. SM_CYEDGE The height, in pixels, of a 3-D border. This value is the 3-D counterpart of SM_CYBORDER. SM_CYHSCROLL The height, in pixels, of a horizontal scroll bar. SM_CYICON The default height, in pixels, of an icon. SM_CYICONSPACING The height, in pixels, of a grid cell for items in large icon view. Each item fits into a rectangle of this size when it is arranged. These values are always greater than or equal to SM_CXICON and SM_CYICON. SM_CYSMICON The recommended height, in pixels, of a small icon. Small icons typically appear in window captions and in small icon view. SM_CYVSCROLL The height, in pixels, of the arrow bitmap on a vertical scroll bar.
