Macro Error Compilation (32-64 Bits)

Macro
1

Hello

As mentioned in a previous question, I want to modify a feature macro

See attached tutorial:

http://www.lynkoa.com/tutos/r%C3%A9alisation-dune-macro-fonction-dans-solidworks

The problem is that the example is not applied to my position. because it shows me the following error:

Is it possible on a workstation under 7 64 bits to launch a macro made in 32 Bits?

Or what needs to be changed in order to be able to launch it?

Thank you

Yes there may be compatibility issues, see this link:

That's right, so I replaced  Declare with Declare Ptfsafe as below in 2 places in the frmMain code and it works again:

Private Declare PtrSafe Function FindWindow Lib "user32" aka "FindWindowA" _
(ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Private Declare PtrSafe 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

 

I knew that there were compatibility problems due to the versions but I hadn't thought about that.

Thank you@.PL
