O do remember using their Timer control a few years ago, and it was absolutely the best and most stable and most easily used high resolution Timer I have ever come across, so I imaginme their other offerings will be of just as high a quality . . . but they were all commercial offerings (I merely tried the demo) and in any case they don't exist any more. Do you actually have a link that allows you to download free copies of their stuff? If so I would like to see it. > Direct download from http://www.adit.co.uk/html/mousewheelsupport.htmlf > yields the same thing. Obviously I am doing something wrong. I can't see anything at all on that link regarding Mabry controls, and I can't see any download links (although I've only had a quick look so far). Have I missed something? I can see some example mouse wheel hooking code on that link though. I was going to suggest that you write your own hooking code (which I could have helped you with) but you don't even need to go to the trouble of doing that because there is code to do exactly what you want on the link you have posted. There is only about 50 or so lines of code, including the subclass code and the sample scrollbar mousewheel routine. I've just given it a quick test drive and and it works fine. Couldn't be much simpler. If you are looking for code to allow mouse wheel action in various Controls in your own VB6 app then why don't you just use that? Or are you looking for somehting else? Mike

It is absolutely superb. I know it is possible to code hires timers, but the Mabry offering was really extremely simple and easy to use, with no code at all required to support it, and it was totally reliable ;-) Mike
