Wheel mouse 1

[voetj]

Hello,

I have a problem with my Wheel mouse.
The scroll function does not work within the VBA modules.

 

[Luis939]

Neither on mine lol

Well, can anyone help us so that we can scroll up n down the modules with our mouse? thanks!

You need to get a patch for your mouse driver - It's somewhere on the MS site but I havn't got the link to hand. Will post back if I find it

Since the wheel-mouse subject is in session I also have a question.

My wheel cuttently controls the zoom in/out size of the worksheet and if I hold the wheel down I can pan left/right and scroll up/down.

Is there a place to modify Excel wheel mouse default functions like scrolling instead of zoom etc?

I'd like to get the most out of my wheel in excel but can't seem to find a lot of documentation.

oh, well the mouse on my wheel only zooms if i press ctrl while i use the mouse, but i just got a hold of these links, dont even know what they contain, maybe u can check them out yourself

Thanks Luis939 I'll check it out.

Since your's functions different from mine, that tells me there are options to explore.

Luis939 - please don't troll for stars - that's not what this forum is about

Luis939, the FreeWheel program does not resolve the issue at hand.

Thanks,

it solved it for me immediatlely, but as mscallisto stated, his machine works different from mine, in fact, a co-worker of mine's downloaded the same thing, and her winzip acted a little weird when she was unzipping them but it still worked for them, whats the problem? is it that it didnt load right, or it did, but u still cant scroll within the VBA module, i think it might have to do with the version of the mouse u have

I noticed someone already mentioned this, but I can tell you I just installed the small program as it asked a few min's ago, and scrolling perfectly now in the VBA code window. If it does not work by itself, make sure you have the most recent driver/software for your particular mouse (microsoft or logitech, or any other). For me, it works like a dream!
Try this program (this will fix any scrolling issues with any programs (or so it seems) - just took seconds.. I posted in a thread I started about the same topic:

I found an answer! Apparently, for some reason, in some cases, the VBA code window does not natively support the scrolling from a mouse. Don't know if it's a bad installation or what. However, there is a way around it. I found a free small program called "freewheel" on the web. Just go to

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2060/freewheel.html

I just installed it, and immediately can use the scroll in my VBA code window! Awesome app!

After testing all applications including the VBA Editor, Freewheel seemed to correct my problems and has some nice functionality.

Still I suggest trying everything possible to correct these types of problems (Updates,Drivers etc.), before trying 3rd party software which can sometimes cause additional problems.

 

[Luis939]

I agree.
