Create New Excel Window - size and position are TOTALY WRONG!

[morzapo]

I'm working on a small project in Excel (Office 365) where I'm starting to lose my mind, since code is behaving crazy!

The idea is to open two windows of same Excel workbook at the same time, side-by-side, with specific window dimensions. I prepared an example of new workbook "Book1.xlsm" with two Worksheets ("Sheet1" and "Sheet2"). After pressing the "CommandButton1", there should be two windows of the Workbook placed on my monitor side by side with next properties:

• Left window showing "Sheet1" (Top=0, Left=0, Height=880, Width=960)
• Right window showing "Sheet2" (Top=0, Left=960, Height=880, Width=960)

I have two-monitor setup with screen resolution 1920×1200 each. You can see that I'm trying to place each window on one half of the monitor (2 × 960 px = 1920 px).



BUT(!) when the code is executed, the size and position of both windows are all WRONG:

• Left window showing "Sheet1" (Top=-2, Left=-2, Height=1173, Width=1280)
• Right window showing "Sheet2" (Top=-2, Left=1278, Height=1173, Width=1280)

Does anyone knows why is Excel ignoring size properties set in code and positions windows on these bizarre coordinates? Can someone please check the code and posts the results here? Thank you in advance!

Here is link to file Book1.xlsm in my Dropbox and here is also the code behind "CommandButton1":

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


Application.ScreenUpdating = False


'Get rid of all open windows to start at 1. Easier than determining which windows are open and processing them.

Do Until Windows.Count = 1

    Windows(Windows.Count).Close

Loop


Application.WindowState = xlMaximized

ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized

Application.WindowState = xlNormal





'Create 1 more for a total of 2 windows.

ActiveWindow.NewWindow

ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False

ActiveWorkbook.Windows.Arrange ArrangeStyle:=xlVertical



For Each wnWin In Windows


    Select Case wnWin.WindowNumber

  
    'Right window: "Sheet2"

        Case Is = 2

            wnWin.Activate

            Sheets("Sheet2").Select

            With wnWin

                .WindowState = xlNormal

                .Top = 1

                .Left = 960

                .Height = 880

                .Width = 960

                .DisplayGridlines = False

                .DisplayHeadings = False

             End With



    'Left window: "Sheet2"

        Case Is = 1

            wnWin.Activate

            Sheets("Sheet1").Select

            Sheets("Sheet2").Activate

            With wnWin

                .WindowState = xlNormal

                .Top = 0

                .Left = 0

                .Height = 880

                .Width = 960

                .DisplayGridlines = False

                .DisplayHeadings = False

            End With

    End Select




Next wnWin



Application.ScreenUpdating = True



End Sub

Disclamer: since I'm quite of noob in VBA, I'm gathering code parts from all over the internet. The code above is modified code, found on Stack Overflow.

To make shorter version of my original post: it is maybe easier if I make a poll here:

Please test button in this file and post the result. I hope you can estimate the size of both windows ...

Thanks.

Bump.

Please make a test in my previous (or original) post. Thank you!
