VB6 mousewheel fix
Lorenzo Barbieri questions himself why he hasn’t found this sooner; the VB6 mousewheel fix! He got it from dredge, by the way.
The problem is, I’ve been doing a VB6 application for a few weeks, adding some functionality, and you have no idea how I missed using my mouse, using it to scroll the sourcecode!
I’m done with the project and only now I now how to fix it! Maybe I should’ve search for it in the KB sooner! 🙁
Anyway, I hope I never have to use it! 😉
Dennis is an independent consultant and software architect who loves building distributed systems and the challenges they bring. What he learns he tries to share via numerous articles, blogposts, presentations and workshops.
It also depends on the type of mouse driver you are using. The default mouse driver does not work. If you install IntelliMouse scrolling in VB6 works as well.
I tried this, because I thought I remembered from a long forgotten past that the IntelliMouse driver worked. But the driver in my post didn’t work either!
Doesn’t matter, I’m uninstalling VB6! Blegh! 😉
