Wheel mouse scroll

[Mithyrl]

I have a slider in one of my projects that seems to automaticlly work with a Wheel Mouse which is nice.

I have already written code to check to see if there is a Wheel Mouse installed but now I need to determine wheather or not the user is using the wheel to scroll the Slider in the Slider1_scroll event.

Does anyone know how to determine if a user is using a wheel mouse to scroll a slider as opposed to just dragging it?

I think the WheelDown / WheelSpin (i just made those up BTW) events are handled entirely by the mouse drivers that come with the mouse istelf. And thus each differnt brand of mouse will have differnt software. For example my Genius Netscroll+ mouse is pathetic, the softwate regularly powers off my PC for no good reason and without notice!

I hate everything about Genius because they refuse to acknowledge my plight via email, I have resorted to uninstalling the software, leaving my wheel inoperative.

At the risk of making this sound like a rant, I will say this: there is no event in Vb (that I know of) that captures wheel events.
