Does it the mouse wheel in VB IDE code window? ya, it will be better if they can work like the VC++ IDE

mine works fine but it might be that i am using the MS Trackball Explorer... I have noticed that many people who report this bug are using a logitech mouse. I also heard if you do not install the driver that it works in the code window.

I have no solution just those few hopfully helpful hints

Regards

my mouse is a I.B.M. mouse but all of the inards are logitech, i knew that the scroll didn't work in the code window, but i was unaware of a fix for this

I also have a logitech mouse, but even without the drivers it still won't work in the bloody code window!

Perhaps M$ doesn't like logitech's mice? They'd much rather sell their own junk.

I don't think this is possible, it is frustrating, and I've tried it with loads of different mice & drivers.

I have heard that some of the MS mice (like above) work, but not too sure which, might only be the trackerball one as my intellisense doesn't ...

But my mice is Dell~Microsoft

Does this bugs related to mice? or the OS?

**ExtremePimpness** · Mar 8th, 2001, 05:13 AM

i have no idea why but mine just works it might be that i am running WinME though because it takes care of the scroll wheel itself.

**alex_read** · Mar 8th, 2001, 05:16 AM

Could well be, OS's I've used :

WinNt 4 (sp4, 5 & 6)
Win 95, 98
Win2000

and this doesn't work, so it could well be down to winME. ..

Eric, check your private messages in a little while.

I tried in NT4 (sp5), Win98, Win98SE, WinME and Win2000 none worked, either with or without drivers...

Same here it didn't work when i had windows 98 SE and now i have ME full version not upgrade it still doesn't work

So we were right origianally, the rollerball MS mouse must be the only one to work with this [boo].

**hayessj** · Mar 8th, 2001, 10:07 AM

Thanks Pallex, did that and now working fine.

**alex_read** · Mar 8th, 2001, 10:08 AM

Ahhhh, right, thanks !

**Pallex** · Mar 8th, 2001, 10:31 AM

Oh, and Service Pack 5 for Visual Studio 6 is out now, too!

But thats a little bigger than the mouse driver (133 megs!!)

**Chris** · Mar 8th, 2001, 11:06 AM
