We kept the mouse pointer over the original combo box and not its drop down portion as another Foxer recommended. God help us if we get different mice here! Gott Hilfe uns, wenn wir verschiedene Mäuse erhalten! <-- I'll bet that that didn't translate very well.

>>A user of one system I've written, who is quite quick, observed that the mousewheel on her Microsoft mouse would work in a Grid, but does not work in a drop-down combo box. How can we make the mousehweel operational in the drop-down combobox?

>I've found that a lot of mouse wheel behavior depends on drivers or the manufacturer. I have a Microsoft Laser Laptop mouse and the thing is very unpredictable with scroll behavior especially in VFP. Sometimes it works just fine (say in the editor) at other times nothing happens at all.

>Not that this helps, but Microsoft Lazer mice in particular have interference issues with the system idle loop which causes problems with some applications (Visual Studio and Visual FoxPro IDE particularily).

>Something to consider. If you have an older wired mouse laying around it may be worth trying that out to see different behavior.
