Mouse Wheel Control

[Ian]

I have a number of custom forms produced in my Db that
have vertical scroll bars. Is there any way to get the
mouse wheel to scroll up and down the page instead of
using the scroll bars.

Thanks in advance
Ian.

This works for me in Access XP. This works in Single Form, not Continuous
Forms.

HTH,

Add a Text Box on your form:

Name = NoMouseWheel
Default Value = " "
Validation Rule = WheelSpin() = False
Validation Text = You can't change records using your mouse wheel. (this can
be left out if you don't want a message)
Visible = Yes
Enabled = Yes
Locked = No
Tab Stop = No
Back style = Transparent
Back Color = -2147483633 (or whatever color your form is)
Special Effect = Flat
Border style = Transparent

FORM EVENTS:

On Mouse Wheel: [Event Procedure]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_MouseWheel(ByVal Page As Boolean, ByVal Count As Long)
On Error GoTo GotError
mWheel = True
ValidationTrigger = TheWheel
Me.NoMouseWheel.SetFocus
Me.NoMouseWheel.Text = " "

ExitSub:
ValidationTrigger = NotTheWheel
Exit Sub

GotError:
MsgBox Err.Number & vbCrLf & Err.Description
Resume ExitSub
End Sub
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Error: [Event Procedure]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
' MsgBox DataErr

If Screen.ActiveControl.Name = "NoMouseWheel" Then
Response = acDataErrContinue
End If
End Sub
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADD THIS CODE BEHIND YOUR FORM:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

'This Enum is for clarifying the code
Private Enum wsTrigger
TheWheel = 1
NotTheWheel = 2
End Enum

Private mWheel As Boolean
Private ValidationTrigger As wsTrigger

Private Function WheelSpin() As Integer
'used in NoMouseWheel text box on form
WheelSpin = mWheel
Select Case ValidationTrigger
Case NotTheWheel
mWheel = False
End Select
End Function
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
