Re: Wheel mouse problem?

Try Googling, which is where I came up with this. From what I've seen, it
can't be done.

| Thanks Tom, sadly this doesn't really work. While the onMouseWheel code
| prevents the mouse wheel from use while the user is selecting from the
list
| as soon as he has made his selection the protection disappears. While the
| DDList still keeps focus, after selection any movement of the mousewheel
| changes the selection again. I tried appling the onMouseWheel code to the
| whole form but that didn't work either. Is their any way of forcing the
focus
| to move after the user makes his selection?
