Scroll wheel on mouse

Can this be fixed?

I have a combo box which is filled with lots of choices on a certain
form. I click on the combo box and want to scroll down through the
items using my mouse's scroll wheel. But instead of scrolling through
the combo box, Access 2000 starts scrolling through the records, as if
I was hitting PAGE DOWN. How can I get Access 2000 to use the scroll
wheel to scroll the combo box rather than go to the next record(s).
The scroll wheel seems to work fine when I click within a textbox.
Thank you.

I have a form designed as a Continuous form which displays one record per line. Taking account of the header and footer and the size of the screen, I can display 30 records at a time. I can see other records by scrolling up or down with either the scroll bar on the right of the screen, or the up and down arrows which are above and below this scroll bar; or I can use the scroll wheel

using VS2005 and c# to create a windows forms application. One of my forms has a panel which I've added various controls to. Now, I've set the autoscroll property to true, which is great, but I can't use my mousewheel to scroll up or down and its annoying the hell out me. How do I get a panel to scroll on mousewheel scroll event? Hope someone can help.

On one of my forms I have a text box sized and shaped to display multiple lines. The max content of the field is such that the text box may display less than all of the data in the field. Therefore I have the vertical scroll bar enabled for the text box object. When a user is working with this form and that text box has focus, I would like the wheel mouse to scroll the content of that field rather than scroll through the records on the...

First, apologies iif this is an old problem. I do read this group, but I may have missed it. When I open a form in A2K to put data into a record (or create a new record), all is well provided I do not touch the wheel on top of the mouse. I can do anything else with the mouse, that is, move it around the form and click on controls. But if I turn the wheel, Access closes out the current form record and begins to scroll up or down thru...

Does anyone know of a way to disable the mouse scroll wheel when a control such as a combobox or listbox has focus? I ask this, because I have an extremely large data entry form with vertical scrollbars. I have found that when a user scrolls the wheel in an attempt to scroll the form down, a combobox or listbox will scroll instead (if it has focus) thus changing the user's original selection. Thanks for any help you can provide! Mark

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
