Hi all,
Below is a code for scrolling all controls in a userform with the Mouse Wheel

Should work with Modal as well as with Modeless userforms .. Tested in 32Bit and 64Bit systems .. Also, the code doesn't use a Windows hook so it should be stable and safe.

See Workbook Demo

1- Code in a Standard Module :
Code:
Option Explicit

    Released
    Pressed
End Enum

Public Enum WHEEL_ROTATION
    Forward
    Backward
End Enum

End Type

Private Type RECT
    Left As Long

    Right As Long
    Bottom As Long
End Type

Private Type LongToInteger
    Low As Integer
    High As Integer
End Type

It would not be feasible to strip out the code bit either, as a lot of variables are referenced to other sheets, named ranges, globals etc.

I have all of it on GitHub, just updated everything. GitHub - LazyD-Charter/LazyD-Charter

VirusTotal Result 3 of 67

There is an Installer, which is actually a self-extracting 7-zip file that runs an AutoIT script. Installer itself copies the folder structure, and creates an appdata folder (Roaming\LazyD Charter). You might have to temp change browser settings to actually download it, or maybe a download accelerator, idk.

Uncheck the 2 checkboxes, as you won't need them.

1633957071877.png

I have only tested this on my own PCs, and in a virtual machine. So, when you want to uninstall instead of using the uninstaller just delete the install folder, and "AppData\Roaming\LazyD Charter" folder. No need to risk deleting something wrong :)

Open Charter.xlsm, should be on the dektop now.

Once you open it, there will be a splash userform, wait for it (10 seconds) to disappear.

And before opening any userforms, open any standard module in VBA editor or an error may occur (can't find a control or something, can't exactly remember atm). I couldn't fix it yet, the size/contents of the userform in the video may be the culprit, idk.

To actually be able to use the userform, you will need to create a track.

Click Header up top (if the userform in the below image doesn't show up)
Click ToggleMetadata, enter:
BPM: 120000
Duration: 60000
In case you wonder, they mean BeatsPerMinute is 120, track length is 60 seconds.
Click Create Track
Select a Difficulty and an Instrument
Click Load

1633958678328.png


Now you can actually start using the userform.

I hope I didn't miss anything.

My version of Office is 64bit 365, and there are many early-binding going on. So, as usual idk :)

Excel Facts

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Open Charter.xlsm, should be on the dektop now.

Once you open it, there will be a splash userform, wait for it (10 seconds) to disappear.
Actually, Charter.xlsm won't be on the desktop, because I have not yet modified the file name in the installer. Should be in "InstallFolder\Assets\Excel". Also, you won't need to wait for 10 seconds either, as the current version is the one I am changing a bit, most of workbook_open event is commented out.

Anyway, I did manage to write a DoLoop version with multiple userforms. A collection (visible userforms) of collections (userform controls).

Still missing few things,

How to stop the loop: I am thinking maybe if visible userforms' count=0, unless a setting/option somewhere.
When to recalculate (working on this atm) as newly opened userforms since were invisible are not in the collection.

Thank you @Jaafar Tribak for the updated code.

Does anyone have this latest update working with Excel 64 bit?

What I did:

1- Final API code in a standard module
Pasted in exactly as shown into a standard module

2- Code in the UserForms
Pasted in basically anything do to with the mouse wheel and removed the code to populate the list box, combo box, sheet, etc. for Jaafar’s forms. Since I have a form already, I inserted a quick label to return the data that was shown on Jaafar’s sheet.

VBA Code:
lblFeedBack.Caption = "Object:" & FBObject & " Name:" & FBName & " Rotation:" & FBRot & " CTRL:" & FBCtrl & " X:" & FBX & " Y:" & FBY

Observations:
1. Scrolling does not work. At all. Not in List boxes, Combo boxes, whether on the main form, on a page, anything.
2. Rotation always shows as forward, no matter which way I scroll the wheel.

Seeing a question on here about different mice and wheel data, plus that mine always shows forward, I outputted the value of wParam.

I get crazy high values, e.g. 4287102976 for forward, 7864320 for backward. Is this normal?

Any ideas of how to get this to work?

Note I've tried earlier versions of this code and abandoned them due to too many challenges (like data disappearing from the forms when you moved the mouse).

I'd really love to get some scrolling code working in Excel 64 bit. Thanks in advance.

Version: Microsoft® Excel® 2016 MSO (Version 2111 Build 16.0.14701.20206) 64-bit

You seem to be not calculating the HighWord part correctly, your numbers when LoWord is removed +120 for 7864320 and 65416 for 4287102976. Now, 65416 is actually 2 ^16 -120. I had the same thing with the original hi/loword functions.

7864320 = 111 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 (remove loword, 16 bits from right) = 111 1000 = +120
4287102976 = 1111 1111 1000 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 (remove 16 bits from right) = 1111 1111 1000 1000 = 65,416 = 2 ^ 16 - 120

So these numbers in bold are your directions.

I also have Logitech mouse (not sure if related). And I am using different Lo/HighWord functions as I had the same issue. And also changed the if check.

You would need CopyMemory API function, if not using it already.

If you want to give it a try, code is below.

VBA Code:
Private Declare PtrSafe Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (Destination As Any, Source As Any, ByVal Length As LongPtr)

VBA Code:
Shift = LoWord64(tMsg.wParam)

VBA Code:
If HighWord64(tMsg.wParam) > (2 ^ 15) Then
    If (HighWord64(tMsg.wParam) - (2 ^ 16)) < 0 Then
        WheelRotation = Backward

    End If
ElseIf HighWord64(tMsg.wParam) > 0 Then
    WheelRotation = Forward

End If

VBA Code:
Private Function LoWord64(ByVal wParam As LongPtr) As Long
   
    Call CopyMemory(LoWord64, ByVal VarPtr(wParam), 2)

End Function

Private Function HighWord64(ByVal wParam As LongPtr) As Long
   
    Call CopyMemory(HighWord64, ByVal VarPtr(wParam) + 2, 2)
   
End Function

Thanks very much @Gokhan Aycan! Your modifications allowed me to get the scroll working, finally!

I still get the same crazy values if I output tMsg.wParam, yet the scrolling works...

I’m testing to see if I experience any of the oddities from the original efforts, but so far so good.

Here are the changes I’ve made—and a question:

Code in a Standard Module:

Jaafar’s code already uses the CopyMemory API function, so that one’s covered.

VBA Code:
' Jaafar
' If (hiword(CLng(tMsg.wParam)) / WHEEL_DELTA) > 0 Or (hiword(CLng(tMsg.wParam)) = WHEEL_DELTA) Then
'   WheelRotation = Forward
' Else
'   WheelRotation = Backward
' End If

' Gokhan
If HiWord64(tMsg.wParam) > (2 ^ 15) Then
   If (HiWord64(tMsg.wParam) - (2 ^ 16)) < 0 Then
     WheelRotation = Backward
   End If
  ElseIf HiWord64(tMsg.wParam) > 0 Then
    WheelRotation = Forward
End If


VBA Code:
' Jaafar
Private Function loword(DWord As Long) As Integer
If DWord And &H8000& Then
  loword = DWord Or &HFFFF0000
Else
  loword = DWord And &HFFFF&
End If
End Function

Private Function hiword(ByVal DWord As Long) As Integer
  hiword = (DWord And &HFFFF0000) \ &H10000
End Function

' Gokhan
Private Function LoWord64(ByVal wParam As LongPtr) As Long
  Call CopyMemory(LoWord64, ByVal VarPtr(wParam), 2)
End Function

Private Function HiWord64(ByVal wParam As LongPtr) As Long
  Call CopyMemory(HiWord64, ByVal VarPtr(wParam) + 2, 2)
End Function

Question: What is your Shift variable? I don't see it elsewhere in your snippet, nor anywhere in Jaafar's code. Is that what Jaafar calls CtrlKey, and your code replaces the following?

VBA Code:
CtrlKey = IIf(loword(CLng(tMsg.wParam)) = MK_CONTROL, Pressed, Released)

Thanks again!

Hey, glad it worked for you too. I have this feeling I am not calculating the high word proper as well (as if it is off some bits), why I had to do the calculations. But works for me.

Shift would be (Dim Shift as Integer):
0: No modifier keys pressed
4: Shift is pressed
8: Ctrl is pressed
12: Shift + Ctrl is pressed

So, if you incorporate those values to your code, you can have much more customization of how any one control will behave.
 
Upvote 0
Ah, thanks. So additional functionality beyond Jaafar's code that I can further incorporate...

Some observations on the control key:
  1. I noticed that the control key works, i.e. "seems" to scroll horizontally although my list box isn't wide enough for a scroll bar, and that's whether I use Jaafar's CtrlKey definition or use yours, assuming the Shift definition is used for CtrlKey.
  2. And in both cases, as with before the code was working, the FBCtrl string from the UserForms module never updates with the state of the control key. My output string above is always blank for that.
Now that the scrolling is working, I'll see how to take advantage of the control & shift, plus see if I can adjust the number of lines of scroll...

Shift = CtrlKey when Ctrl is pressed alone, Jaafar didn't include other combinations iirc (it has been a while I modified it to my needs).

Indeed, you can adjust scroll lines or anything else depending on control type or even using control names for further customization.

As an example:

Default = 1 lines
Shift = 1 x Default
Ctrl = 2 x Default
Shift+Ctrl = 4 x Default

Thanks; that's a good idea for the keys, i.e. increase the scroll value.

Do you what controls the scroll value though? Form Jaafar's code, I've tried adjusting:

VBA Code:
Const SCROLL_CHANGE = 20     ' <== Change Const as required '//

as well as

VBA Code:
Const WHEEL_DELTA = 120

I've tried a range of exaggerated changes...and neither of these seem to have any effect.
