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

You probably used the code from Jaafar's post #5. That code contains unintended tags and is an outdated version. Use the code from post #53.

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Could you post the entire lines? That looks like coding meant for a web browser as opposed to vba code?

I do not have "URL" or "hash" anywhere in my code. I am awfully forgetful, but I do not believe I had (and removed) such code either.
You can either manually delete the offending lines from your project or delete all the code and redownload it. I recommend deleting all the code you just inserted (perhaps you have a clean backup you can revert to). Then either carefully copy and paste again from post #53 in this thread or, better still, download the workbook demo in the same post #53 and then copy and paste from that.

Good afternoon everyone,

I am actually using a combo box on a sheet with Jafaar's code from post #20. The one using an alternate approach with Peek. This is working very well for me but when I scroll and click on a value it only highlights the value inside the combo box and I need to click out of the box for the value to actually update. I would like the value to register and update in the box with a single click. I tried finding a solution myself but couldn't figure it out.

This code was slightly confusing, but most likely only because I only learned VBA like 4 days ago. I found this.

Just have to copy from
Forms, Module 1 and ScrollWheel (Mod2?) and swap your combo list names, (use CTRL + F to find it)
It's literally just swapping cmbMyList (stock name in the DL workbook) to your combo box name.

There two lists in the workbook which can make it confusing because I didn't know if the second combobox was dependent on the first. so ignore any "lbxMyList" or just swap it all to your intended list box, it'll work eventually.

If I could do this with 4 days VBA experience, I'm sure you can get it ;)

There seems to be enough interest, so I'll post another update.

This update corrects a problem that went un-noticed and that I just discovered with previous codes which is the inability to select and\or move through listbox items with the UP & DOWN keys while the mouse-wheel scrolling functionality is set.

But most importantly, the code in this update now works generically with either ListBoxes or CombBoxes whether they be embedded in worksheets or located on UserForms ... A one liner Property call for all.

Also, this update just like previous ones , doesn't use a windows keyboard hook so it safe and stable.

Hey Jaafar,

I really like the work you did here. I notice though that after I choose an item in the combo box(left click) the box closes but I am "still inside" the combo box. Meaning I can hit backspace and delete what I chosen. I have some vlookups referring to the linked cell, and they don't update unless I click somewhere outside of the combo box after I make a choice. This doesn't seem like a huge deal, but I have several associates using this sheet a day and maybe a new person every 2 weeks or so and they get a bit confused when they make a choice but the sheet doesn't update. I just tell them you need to click a second time somewhere outside of the combobox but I hope this is something you could easily improve to help the user experience in my case.

Also, I hope Microsoft is paying you for this because you are really improving the quality of life for so many people who use excel.

Hi Rbolomey
Thanks for the feedback.

That's the normal standard behaviour for comboboxes ... with the mouswheel code or without.

I couldn't reproduce the problem you describe... linked cells update just fine for me.

Thanks,

Jafaar you are correct it is working as intended. I was referring to the previous code from post #20 that worked well for me. I just used this most recent one you linked instead and it is working great. Thanks!

Hi @Jaafar Tribak, I really like your coding, thanks a lot!
Downloaded your demo Workbook and played around a bit but I couldn't (of course, LOL ...) fix the issue I'm having.
On 32 bit Excel 2013 running your code, regardless in which direction the mouse wheel is turned, the Userform Control scrolls always downwards. For some reason the line
If HighWord32(tMsg.wParam) = WHEEL_DELTA Then
in the EnableMouseScroll property procedure never evaluates to TRUE.
Just to let you know.
