reading mouse wheel rotation in VB6
in [Visual Basic]

From: JanAdam on 5 Mar 2008 16:06 How to read mouse wheel rotation in VB6? I am not a programmer. I need to control a step motor from a computer via a serial port. I am trying to write a code to move the motor one way or another by using a mouse wheel, when a mouse cursor is placed on a control button on a form. I know the protocol for the motor controller. I need to read the number of wheel steps and direction of the wheel rotation. I know how to make the form responding to clicking on the button, but do not know how to make it responding to the wheel rotation. WM_MOUSEWHEEL notification gives me all that I need but I do not know how to use it in my control button code in VB6. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- JanAdam

Seems the only thing you don't know is that Google knows all? http://www.google.com/search?q=vb+wm_mousewheel -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

Just an opinion, but if you're not a programmer, you should probably hire one to do this job because it will involve subclassing...something a non-programmer CERTAINLY should not be attempting to do. -- Mike Microsoft MVP Visual Basic

Karl, no need for sarcasm. I did Google before posting. Most relevant postings I found deal with using the wheel in IDE. Some are written in languages I do not know. Some are by far too advanced for me as I only have a rudimentary knowledge of VB. I have tried to use the code in http://www.adit.co.uk/html/mousewheelsupport.htmlf but run into problems with type declarations. I only posted my question because I need some help. -- JanAdam "Karl E. Peterson" wrote: > JanAdam wrote: > > How to read mouse wheel rotation in VB6? > > I am not a programmer.
