ON_WM_MOUSEWHEEL

[shetlandbob]

Hi,

I can capture the mouse wheel event on my dialog application except when the mouse focus is in my list control. This is pretty much exactly the opposite of what I wanted.

Any one have any idea why my list control doesn't support the mouse wheel event capture?

you should catch mouse whell of your list, not of your dialog. However list is a child control, it is another wiindow than your dialog. For that purposes you may subclass the list.

thats what I thought, but having trouble figuring out how to capture that event?

If you're using MFC you could use a subclass.

Ok, I've got it. thanks for the help anyway

for info:
My ListBox is my own generated Class (base was CListBox, unsurprisingly!!) as I wanted to colour the entries independently, and so I get the mouse wheel event from the message map in the myCListBox class.

thats probably about as clear as mud!!

If it sounds like the wrong way to do things, then please let me know!! but it appears to work!!

Good. If it aint broken, don't fix it.
