Lebans MouseWheelOff and scroll in textbox in subform

O

Ove.Halseth

First thing first:
MouseWheelOff is an excellent extention to Access.
For users used to scroll in textboxes with the mouse wheel access
applications can be a nightmare.
One little scroll and poff your data are "gone".

Then to my request/bug-report:
I can't scroll in textboxes placed on subforms.

To recreate this behavior, open the demo access mdb in the
MouseWheelOff.zip. Open the form frmsuddata and change the Stuff
textbox to multiline with scrollbar.

If you now run the frmSampleData and turn off the mouse wheel you will
be able to scroll the textbox up to the right, but the textboxes in
the subform will not scroll.

Is it a bug or by design? Or is it something I have missed?

Best regards

I believe that when you've turned MouseWheel off, it applies to everything
in the application, not just the single form where you put the code to turn
the wheel off. In other words, what you're describing is how it's supposed
to work.

Thanks for your feedback.
If I turn the MouseWheel off, my memo fields on the main form still
scrolls, so I think it's supposed to just turn off records scrolling.
But if you turn MouseWheel on when a memo field got focus then you
will be back to scrolling records, not the memo field....
Or am I missing something here.

Try to recreate it by following the steps in my first post and you'll
see what I mean...
