Using the mouse

[lemonjuice]

Does anyone know how i can disable the mouse scroll(wheel) on a form?

did you ever get an answer.

i am having the same problem with a form with tabs on it. when the users scroll, like to move through a combo list, the app. will scroll through the records based on the primary key of the main table. i would like to disable that and hopefully only have the scroll apply to whatever control is active.

Nope, sorry. I never found a sollution. I hope you will get one.

I found the following solution at

http://www.microsoft-accesssolutions.co.uk/disable_mousewheel.htm

Private Sub Form_Load()
' Turn the MouseWheel Off
Dim blRet As Boolean
' Call our MouseHook function in the MouseHook dll.
' Please not the Optional GlobalHook BOOLEAN parameter
' Several developers asked for the MouseHook to be able to work with
' multiple instances of Access. In order to accomodate this request I
' have modified the function to allow the caller to
' specify a thread specific(this current instance of Access only) or
' a global(all applications) MouseWheel Hook.
' Only use the GlobalHook if you will be running multiple instances of Access!
blRet = MouseWheelOFF(False)
End Sub

I have tried using this but to no avail. The fix requires downloading a MouseWheel.dll file.

Lemonjuice,

I don't know how to disable the mouse wheel, but have you tried a work around? Then last time I messed with eventInfo.id(), Footpad (Lance) was still on this forum to bail me out of trouble. But it seems like you could put something like this on the action method:

If eventInfo.id()=DataNextRecord or
eventInfo.id()=DataPriorRecord
then
; insert code to test if you want to prevent user
; from going on to the next record
else
doDefault ; allow user to move to next record
endIf

When I checked to see what events were generated by the mouse wheel, at least the cases I looked at it was always an eventInfo.id of 3072 (DataNextRecord) or 3073 (DataPriorRecord).
