Microsoft IntelliMouse with IntelliEyes

[Nitro]

Hello Everyone!

I just got this a new mouse for my computer and loved it! My old mouse was some cheap ass brand call "A4 Tech". Don't buy this mouse ever because the precision is really screwy.

Anyway, I bought a new mouse because the wheel from the "A4 Tech" doesn't work with VB Coding area - vertical scrolling effect. It works with all other application except VB.

I bought the new Microsoft mouse thinking that it will work in the VB Coding area, but it still doesn't. However, the Microsoft mouse is really great.

Does anyone have a mouse with a wheel that works with the vertical scrolling in the coding area?

NO!

My systems run '98, NT4 and 2kPro and none of them recognise the mouse wheel in the code window.

Maybe you can subclass VB's code window, catch the event and scroll it your self , let me know how you go !!!

cheers

It's a software problem, For some reason VB doesn't respont to the mousewheel or anything in it's code window, I think someone at Microsoft forgot. You can't subclass VB in VB though, you need C++, subclassing only works on windows in your own App. you'll just have to live with it i'm afraid.

I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse with IntelliEye and it seems to work fine in the code area of VB. I believe that there is a program that is supposed to install with the drivers that lives in the background and forces the scroll function to work. On my system the program is called 3dmoused.exe. It may be different on yours depending on the version of your drivers.

When I first got mine it didn't work in anything, and what ended up being the problem was that the program wasn't starting when I booted my computer like it should have.

I have one system with an intellieye and one with a clone wheel mouse, both are now on Win2K with the latest drivers...

Neither work in the code window! are you 101% sure that it works for you?

[RealisticGraphics]

Yeah, it works. I'm using right now.

Have you tried running the troubleshooter for possible problems? Also, your drivers maybe setup to disable the wheel in VB. Though VB isn't one of the defaults.

According to the help file the program I was speaking of earlier should be called mswheel and should live in your system/system32 directory.

Install the program that came with your mouse. If you don't have it, download it. Using the mouse without the program will work on MOST Windows program, installing the program have some advantages however. With the program installed, the window you want to scroll don't have to be the active window. Any window under the mouse, active or otherwise, will be scrolled properly.
