Mouse Wheel Trouble in Excel VBA

[chuck]

XL2002:
The wheel on my mouse does not scroll when editing code in
the excel 2002 VB. This only happens in the module code
windows and the form windows. However, the mouse wheel
will scroll in the project explorer, object explorer, and
properties window. I have checked for driver updates and
seem to have the latest. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

yep..

if I didnt miss it as much as you I'd laugh
isn't microsoft wonderfully up-to-date?

don't worry even Office 2003B2 wont scroll
in VBA code windows...


it's a nogo.
no drivers will help you.
it's just not programmed 'like that'

you'll have to wait until VBA is disabled and we'll all be 'gently' moved
to Studio NOT Net

Office 2000 certainly does with microsoft wheel mouse
with the Intellipoint 4 drivers , did they take
a backward in Office 2003 ?

hmm...

Scrolling in the main module window?

Maybe with a Microsoft Mouse and Intel drivers,

I've got a (highend) wireless kb and mouse from logitech with the latest
drivers...

It didn't budge in 2000k and 2002, and it wont budge in 2003B2 when I roll
that wheel....

does that prove my point re MS

I can't set IntelliZoom on a non-intel driven mouse. MS should just built
basic hardware functionality into their software. Without regard for
manufacturer. In ANY other software I've got no probs srolling with the
wheel.....

MS mice and a few others scroll those windows, Logitech mice and a few others doesn't.

I use an optical Logitech myself, but I installed MS Intellipoint drivers and software from:

It works like a charm, scrolling code, acceleration and everything. Worth a try.

Thanks Harald,
The driver downgrade has fixed the scrolling problem!

I've been following all this. I have a cheapy IBM optical and also could
not get it to scroll in VB. After reading everybody's input, I just
reloaded from the disc and now it works like a champ...

Why would it have to be incorporated into Excel. It should
work for all window applications.

My laptop has an el-cheapo logitech mouse and drivers
and works fine.

I've found that Office is particularly susceptible to
problems if you dont have the right mose drivers.

On both machines I was able to scroll in IE, Outlook
and Windows Explorer with the standard driver but had
to load the proper drivers for Visual Studio and Office

You might want to read this if you have extra buttons on your mouse

Well, as long as the rocker switch is simply an on-off toggle, I
suppose if that's true, it could mimic a left or right arrow keypress.

We'll see. It could be analog for all I know, sensitive to degrees of
tilt, and mimic moving the horizontal scrollbar. (I hope not!)

 

[David McRitchie]

Hi Steve,
New suggestions before it is even available. Hadn't even
thought of it -- I was thinking it was the degree of tilt but that
would be hard to control so then realized that tilting left
or right for different directions wouldn't be necessary because
a tilt either way could simply change the wheel from
vertical to horizontal scrolling because the wheel spins in
two directions. Therefore ...

Actually it should be possible to program existing wheel
mouse to that. Press down on wheel while turning mouse
to handle left and right scrolling when turning wheel. I want
new drivers <grin>

 

[David McRitchie]

Hi Steve,
Just looked at the article you referenced
Computer mice make new moves (Microsoft mouse)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3131453.stm
with the tilt wheel

Seems they are changing the default use of the wheel button to switch
between applications (like Alt+TAB and Alt+SHIFT+TAB, I presume).
I will continue to have it set to Enter. If my hand is on the mouse it would
be faster to pick from the Windows task bar anyway.

So probably would not even use my own suggestion that it be an
option to use the wheel button (while pressed) to scroll sideways.

But I could sure use extra buttons that I can assign

I looked at LogiTech site and their mice appear to either have another
wheel or a button in front of the wheel, can't tell from pictures.

For the scrolling you can probably solve it with the right mouse driver. Do
a message search on this newsgroup for

"Mouse Wheel Trouble in Excel VBA"

Lots of posts on that one. In one of these, Harald Staff says (8/12/03 11:52

Can't help with the panes problem as I can't reproduce it. Maybe try an
Excel re-install?

HTH,

I had the same problem, until I installed Intellipoint. It's great.
