Hi,

Can someone lead me to info on detecting and using the mouse button? All I
can find in the MSDN docs is that you use e.Delta, but it doesn't explain in
how. I tried detecting the roll of the wheel in the frm.MouseDown, but it
didn't detect it.

Thank for the help.

I guess, you mean the mouse wheel, not mouse button?

e.delta returns the amount the wheel has been turned. You get 'e' in
OnMouseWheel or the MouseWheel event.

Mousedown is raised when a mouse button gets pressed, not when the wheel has
been turned.
 
Ok, maybe it's because it's too early in the morning, or maybe it's because
VS 2002 doesn't have a MouseWheel event, but I can't find it anywhere. I've
even searched for MouseWheel and OnMouseWheel in the help and came up with
nothing.

Right, in VB 2002 a Form doesn't have a mousewheel event, but you can
override OnMouseWheel. Override means in a derived class.

Mhm... I can see it inside the IDE and the documentation and I remember
I used it with VS.NET 2002 too. Are you sure advanced members are
shown?

I found it. I was looking for MouseWheel by selecting Base Class Events in
the top left drop-down box, then looking for MouseWheel in the other. But I
typed out the event handler and it was there; now I have it working. Thanks
for the help.

My mouse wheel does not work in VB6 Pro Edit Window, it works every where else, anyone know why?
