Examples

This example uses the My.Computer.Mouse.WheelExists property to determine if the mouse has a scroll wheel and how much to scroll when the mouse wheel is rotated.

If My.Computer.Mouse.WheelExists Then
    Dim lines As Integer = My.Computer.Mouse.WheelScrollLines
    If lines > 0 Then
        MsgBox("Application scrolls " & 
            lines & " line(s) for each wheel turn.")
    Else
        MsgBox("Application scrolls " & 
            (-lines) & " page(s) for each wheel turn.")
    End If
Else
    MsgBox("Mouse has no scroll wheel.")
End If

Remarks

The My.Computer.Mouse.WheelExists property provides functionality similar to the MouseWheelPresent property.

You should check the value of the My.Computer.Mouse.WheelExists property before attempting to access the WheelScrollLines property, which throws an exception if the mouse does not have a scroll wheel.

The My.Computer.Mouse.WheelExists property provides information about the computer that runs the code.
