i tried to work with peter Peter Thornton (Excel MVP 2008-13) code which works amazing for userform Comboxes and listboxes but im a vba noobie and i cant seem to understand how to make this code work for a regular ComboBox on a worksheet

Module Code:
Code: 
'Enables mouse wheel scrolling in controls
Option Explicit


#If Win64 Then
    Private Type POINTAPI
       XY As LongLong
    End Type
#Else
    Private Type POINTAPI
           X As Long
           Y As Long
    End Type
#End If


Private Type MOUSEHOOKSTRUCT
    Pt As POINTAPI
    hWnd As Long
    wHitTestCode As Long
    dwExtraInfo As Long
End Type

Hi



I have tested the code, now also on my desktop it works without any problems. :)

Thank you very much, it's the best gift for me on my birthday :beerchug:

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.

Glad it works and thank you for the feedback.

Next, let's see if we can make the same work for ActiveX Listboxes embedeed on worksheets.

Enabling mouse scrolling for listboxes is more difficult as the mouse scrolling functionality is supposed to be enabled without the need to select the listbox control first - ie: just by hovering the mouse pointer over the listbox.

Regards.

Hi @Jaafar Tribak and THANK YOU SO MUCH,

your Code is extremely good and and I never thought it would be possible. I've got one stupid question, sorry:

Is it possible to change the code so that the scroll amount is more than 1? I changed some figures which I supposed to be responsible but it only worked with upscrolling.
I would like, e.g. to scroll 10 lines with one spin of the mousewheel.

Just define a module level Const to set the number of lines per scroll and post WM_LBUTTONDOWN\WM_LBUTTONDOWN that number of times

Jaafar, this is gold!
It works great on Userform and Sheet Comboboxes. I just wasn't able to make it work in a Listbox.
Is there any way to modify the code to include Listboxes?
Thank you!

Hi dma431,

A listbox will be difficult if on a sheet. .. If on a userform, I guess it could be done.
I'll take a look at some point when I have time.

Regards.

Yes, I needed it for a userform listbox.
Thanks for looking into it. Whenever you have time, of course.

Here is the code for mousewheel-srolling userform ListBoxes.

This code is much safer than the one for worksheet listboxes in post#34 because it doesn't use a low-level windows hook . This code uses the PeekMeessage alternative. That way, if an unhandled error occurs, the application won't crash.

Workbook Demo.
