The link below should help you to add support for the mouse scroll wheel for the wod DLX terminal.

Can you please look at this and allow the scroll wheel to function.

Hi.

I'm not sure I understand. You showed link for VB6 - component isn't made in VB6, and many customers use it in other programming languages, so this obviously doesn't apply.

However, I'm not sure if special care regarding mouse wheel is required anyway. Wouldn't mouse driver take care of wheel anyway?

If the componenet isn't made in VB6 then ignor the link above. Many people get output from the terminal that scrolls off the visible window and they use the mouse to scroll up and down to quickly view it. Can you please add support for the mouse wheel to allow scrolling.

Oh, no, component is made in VC++.

As for adding support, I just tried it, my mouse driver takes care of it. Doesn't all mouse drivers do that?

In VB6 the mouse driver does not take care of it in most cases. I have 3 different machines, one has MS intellipoint the others are logitech mice. A seperate driver application has to be loaded to work around the problem. Using the method described above clears the issue for the other scroll bars on the application such as text boxes.

I will try to bring in a very new mouse from home and load the driver to see if it has a change.
