Re: Using mouse to scroll down a combo list

Generally, if you drop the combo down and put the mouse pointer over the
values, it will show a selection of the one under the pointer, after a short
delay. Using the scroll wheel will move the combo's rows, and after less
than a half second delay will show that row selected. Once clicked that
remains the selection. With your combos showing the entire range of value,
you should be able to simply move your mouse without scrolling. You should
not have a delay in that case. You still need to click on the value you
want. That's the way combo boxes work.

Is there any way I can have my mouse wheel scoll up and down the actual
contents of a list on of a combo box.

I don't mean the standard 'scroll the list' where the list just moves up
and
down but stays fixed on the initial selection. Instead I want the mouse to
scroll through the different field contents highlighting as it goes until
I
find the field record that I want to use. Then just leave the box, making
the
last selected (highlighted) field content my chosen record. I have a
finite
list of 16 records in each combo box, and at the moment, have the 'List
Rows'
property set to 16.
