Mouse scroll wheel

[BitFuzzy]

Problem:

Drop down lists get grey'd out when the scroll wheel is used on the mouse which cause the list items to become un-selectable.


Question:

Anyone know what the problem is or how to fix fix the problem?

BitFuzzy,

I haven't come across that effect myself.

I just opened a table & added a ComboBox to a new blank form. I set the RowSourceType to 2-Alias, set the rowsrouce to the alias of the table I just opened & ran the form.

Using the scroll wheel worked find, but oddly only if I kept the mouse-pointer over the drop arrow. If I moved it over the dropped list, it stopped working and wouldn't work again until I closed the dropped list and click the drop arrow again.

I suggest you try what I did, create a form with just the ComboBox on it, setting the RowSourceType to 2 and opening a table. Run this and see what happens.

Hope that helps,

Stewart

Does your version of VFP have the latest service pack? Seems to that there was a service pack that corrected that behavior.

Mike:

Currently running Service Pack 3. Microsoft isn't making it easy to find the Service packs for '6.0' since they're pushing 7.0 + 8.0

Mike: yea after I sent it I realized I hadn't checked msdn

:/ although I don't think the problem lies within the Service pack.. I have other apps using the same runtime files, that work fine .. although they're using list boxes rather than combo boxes.

I'm looking into that right now.
