MouseHook - Textbox scrolling - Subform

[Anton Huber]

Hi!

This week I downloaded the Mousehook.dll (2K). I do not
need prevent the MouseWheel from scrolling records but
to enable scrolling (multiline) TextBoxes with the wheel. So
far in 'normal' forms everthing is fine. If I set
MouseWheelOFF(false, False) the TextBoxes recieves
WM_VSCROLL/HSCROLL messages. But in subforms
there is no evidence that I even have a WheelMouse ;-) + :-(.

I realised that turning the MouseWheelOFF(false, False)
no 'valueable' messages are posted to the TextBox in a
subform. In fact, turning the MouseWheelOFF(true, False)
fires a WM_MOUSEWHEEL message to the TextBox in
a subform (I thing it would need a HSCROLL/VSCROLL?!?).

So what I would need is a hint to get this naughty TextBoxes
in subforms 'scrolling'.

Win2K, Office XP (up to date!)

Any sugestions?

Thanks in advance!
Anton

The older versions exhibited the behaviour you are after but I got so
many complaints that the average user wanted the MouseWHeel turned off
completely for Sunforms that I caved into demands.

I plan on offering the UI you are after but honestly will not be able to
touch this project until later this summer.

I know of no other existing workaround.

No problem, for now, I can come along with scrolling TextBoxes
only in normal forms.
Besides, you do so much good work for getting Access to
work at it should do anyhow, so do not see this as a request.


Thanks for your answer!
