disable mousewheel

[BeallDon]

I'm trying to use Lebans coding to disable my mouse wheel (thread181-1370483) but when i do the recommended steps and then open my form, i get an error "Variable not defined" - which is referring to the "blRet". Any suggestions as to what i might be overlooking?

blRet is defined and used in the MouseWheelOFF() function of Stephan's code.

Actually, now that I look at it the blRet variable is not used in that function. What line is giving you the error.

Actually, Allan, it is used/defined in the MouseWheelOFF() function as

Dim blRet As Boolean

and should be dimmed as such in any event where it is subsequently used. The most common mistake people make with Stephan's beautiful hack is placing the appropriate code in their app to disable the wheel, but forgetting to actually import the modMouseHook module into their database.

Hi Linq,
I can see where it is Dimmed in that function but not where it is used. Care to point me in the right direction?

Linq is probably on the right trail. I've used Stephan's code several times and continue to forget the modMouseHook.

Here is where blRet is used straight from Stephan's code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
' Turn the MouseWheel Off
Dim blRet As Boolean
blRet = MouseWheelOFF
End Sub
