Help with SystemParametersInfo call

Hi Guys,

I need some help, I am using my window caption bar for some variable text. To
prevent truncation of this I need to detect if the user has his Display
Properties set to "large fonts" (Note not the same as DPI - I can detect that
OK). A google
(http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/screen/systemparaminfononclientarea.htm)
suggests using a SystemParametersInfo call with SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS. I coded
the following but it fails with a zero return code.
Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong?

include win32lib.ew
without warning

constant -- LOGFONT struct
     lfHeight            = w32allot( Long ),
    lfWidth             = w32allot( Long ),

    lfOrientation       = w32allot( Long ),
    lfWeight            = w32allot( Long ),
    lfItalic            = w32allot( Byte ),

? w32Func(xSystemParametersInfo,{SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, SIZEOF_NCM,
