UPDATED – MouseWheel Fix for VB6 & VBA

The add-in has been out there for a while so I figured I’d check up on it. Looks like there are some outstanding issues. I’ve fixed the following items:

· Split code window scrolling now works

· Sometimes the host application would crash when unloading the add-in.

Many thanks to those of you that provided feedback either via this blog or other method. I’ve requested the download for the add-in be changed but the process involves the content folks so I can’t answer how long it’ll take before it’s updated.

In the interim please feel free to make the changes I’ve specified below. Thanks!

    Is this one of those mini code dumps I've been hearing about :-)

    Btw. Its a 2 scroll wheel span for my mouse. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :-)

    Thanks for the update, I'll try it out tomorrow. The biggest issue I have with the current version is if I am turning the wheel while moveing the mouse outside of the code window. The whole edit mdi child window vanishes and the only way I can get it back is to use cascade or tile, or switch to another code window and back again. If the code window was not maximised then when it reappears the right and bottom borders are missing. To make the borders reappear I drag approximately where the edge of the window should be and resize it.
    Still it's very useful, but I seem to make it go wrong a surprising number of times a day.

    I'm still running on VB6 SP5, so I guess I should update. One of the bug fixes is where opening the font properties of a grid causes VB to lock up, which happens to me at least once a week.

    If you upgrade to SP6 do you need to deploy the updated runtime to all the machines running the software created by SP6? I think thats whats holding me back at the moment.

    How can I load the mousewheel fix? I do not have Visual Basic on my PC. I use VBA through Microsoft Access 2000.
