Any help on disabling Mouse wheel From Scrolling records on form

The closest thing I could find was this: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308636 I tried this using a class inside Access 2003. That tends to hang the computer. So creating the ActiveX DLL is necessary.

Mostly if you change your form to display only one record (Cycle = Current Record, Allow Additions = No) you can gain a little control. But that means you have to set up other options for your users to scroll through records.

Civa,
Try the mousewheel.dll found here: http://www.lebans.com/mousewheelonoff.htm

One of the Forum members steered me here several months ago when I was having the same problem. This is a newer version of the .dll than what we have been running for the past several months. (The mousehook took care of most of the problem of scrolling through the recordset or adding a new record) on all but one of our forms.

For the record.......Lebans has a new version of his mousehook.dll (introduced a few months ago and found at URL noted above. I installed it a few days ago (replacing the previous version) and it is handling the mousewheel in the ALL our forms now.

I'm facing the same problem, but when i tried to apply the second step :

Code:

Set the class module properties as follows:   Class Module: CMouseWheel
   -------------------------
   Name: CMouseWheel
   Instancing: 5 - MultiUse

i could not do it, from where i can set this property of the class module..

thanx,
Enas..

Hi Enas:

Do you have an opening screen or splash screen for your app? You could put the calling code in it's load event.
(Dim blRet As Boolean

blRet = MouseWheelOFF)

If you have an exit proceudre for the application, put the code to return the mousewheel there. All you have to do is COPY Stephan's module for the class into your mdb and and drop a copy of mousehook.dll into the same folder as your mdb or into the system folder. That's it- you don't have to re-write his code.

HTH,
