still can't get scroll wheel to scroll in vb/a

logitech track man marble+
I've installed the logitech drivers
tried every setting i can think of
it seems to work everywhere but in vb and vba acad
Is there a setting in vb or vba ide to support scrolling?

 

I've had the same problem...make sure SMS client is not installed or
disabled on your computer. Might not apply for you but that was the fix for
me.

Regards,
Douglas

 

what's SMS ? cant find it mentioned in help

 

I had the same problem and learned to live with it until I saw a guy here at
work that could scroll the VBA code panels. He had no clue why, so we
examined his software. The answer is: IntelliPoint!

IntelliPoint is a free download from Microsoft, but downloading and
installing it does not necessarily solve your problems. I use several
different mouses, at work, at home or on travel, with the same lap top. For
every new mouse, if it was a Logitech, I had to fool around with the drivers
to make the VBA code panels scroll. Needless to say, now that they scroll I
can't live without it...

Good Luck.

 

Mark,

I use a Logitech mouse on a daily basis. Set your middle button function to "Universal Scroll". It works great, at least for me!

just tried it again.
With universal scroll set, the scroll wheel doesn't scroll, but pressing the
wheel down(middle button click), then rolling the track ball scrolls horiz
or vert.
this is not like the behaviour in other progs (vlide, word, excell, etc) but
it is scrolling and I could adapt to it,
however, with this setting then pan is screwed up in the autocad editor,
it will only pan side to side, and in a weird kind of way - opposite
direction of regular pan when I move the ball.
by checking ms compatible it gets even worse.

I'll keep trying

to "Universal Scroll". It works great, at least for me!

 

I'm sorry, I mis-read your post. I thought you had a mouse with a scroll wheel. It may not work properly with a big marble trackball mouse.

I've got the same problem
I don't suppose you can expand on your 'fooling around with the drivers'

 

would that appear in the list of installed programs in control panel -
add/remove programs?
if so, I don't have it.
is it a stock item with nt2000? that's what we're on

 

Hi Wayne,
I must be doing something wrong
I dled the files, unzipped, opened the .vbp in vb6, made the dll, looked in
add-ins saw it in the list, it's checedk to load on startup. but it didn't
work.
closed vb, reopened, saw a splash screen saying loading (to fast to really
see much), looked at add in's it's there in the list as being available, but
no scroll.
unless maybe there's something with the track ball wheel that's diff than a
mouse wheel

get it to work in VB was to use the following free add-in, and I wasn't able
to make it work in VBA at all.

 

oh man I think I've screwed up now!
I tried that add-in, dled the files, compiled the dll to the vb dir
....\visualstudio\vb98\
that didn't activate the scrolling
so I tried installing the intellipoint from another post - now windows
installer comes up every time i try to use outlook express(now) or vb.
any vb sub i try to run in autocad crashes autocad
vb6 won't run (windows installer comes up "preparing to install")
i get a windows installer error...windows installer is not properly
installed...yikes! what have idone?
i deleted the dll and lib and ??? files the add-in compiled, and the folder
with the add-in souce files, still no help

woe is me!
any thoughts?
Mark

get it to work in VB was to use the following free add-in, and I wasn't able
to make it work in VBA at all.

 

It's a seperate product from Microsoft. It stores information about
enterprises computers from screen resolution to installed programs. Very
powerful. It also has the ability to allow the domain admin to control any
computer in the enterprise...that is the feature that locks out the
scrolling from a logitech mouse wheel in VB or VBA.

 

Mark,

Have you downloaded the latest MSI from Microsoft and installed it? That
might clear up your current agony. FWIW, up until at least 2 months ago, the
IntelliPoint driver was incompatible with the latest version of MSI.
(Another example of MS at their shining "best"!)

| oh no, I've hosed myself now!!!
| I tried the vb addin mentioned above in thread,
| that didnt' work (and there were a few posts on that thread about crashing
| their computers)
| (why didn't I listen to them????)
| when that didn't work, i tried the intellipoint suggestion
| when the installer came up it said it was going to uninstall the existing
| drivers (presumably the logitech), I thought I didn't want that so I
| cancelled the install
| Now today everything is screwed.
| If I try to run any vb routine in auto cad the windows installer dialog
box
| comes up and says "preparing to install"
| it just sits there for a while so I cancel it and then autocad crashes
with
| fatal exception.
| If I try to open vb6 from the desktop icon the windows installer dialog
| comes up, when I cancel it it reappears several times then finally goes
away
| but vb6 won't run.
| I've rebooted several times
| I removed the addin's dlls that had been compiled to the vb direc.
| I deleted the folder and all files that had come in with the addin
| I went ahead and let intellipoint install itself and remove the logitech
| drivers,
| still the windows installer problem
| heeeeeelllllllppppppp!?!!!???!

You got it... <BEG>

Cheers

 

at this point I'm afraid to download *anything* from ms !!!

FWIW, up until at least 2 months ago, the

how nice of them not to mention that fact on their site!!!!
where did you find that out?
for crying out loud - the download itself uses an xxx-msi.exe to load
itself, (or in my case fail to load.)

that must be why occasionally the dialog comes up saying either i'm in safe
mode or windows installer is not installed correctly.

I keep trying to rename msi.dll to see if that will stop it, but it keeps
saying windows is using it, cant' rename or delete.
((((

Thanks for responding...even just a friendly voice helps ease some of the
pain

 

Of course it's not documented... it's MS! (actually, I think there is a KB
article...)

Installing the latest MSI can't make things any worse (lying thru my teeth)
so give it a shot.

There is a download on the Logitech site for gamers - something like
gamewheel. Download and install it and everything should work - least it
does here with my Trackman Wheel

couldn't find a dl for msi anywhere on msn search
had to format and reinstall everything :-(

I'm *really* sorry if my add-in suggestion had anything to do with your disaster Mark!! I've been pretty tied up the last couple of days and haven't checked the forum much so I didn't realise what you were going through, not that I would've known what to suggest. I just went looking for a mouse-wheel solution one day (much as you have), found that add-in, and have used it with no problems since.
&nbsp;&nbsp;
Deepest sympathy

Hi Wayne,



thanks for the sympathy



I really don't think that was the problem even though there were some mentions of crashes on that site (but I think they were xp)



I don't know why the add in didn't work but it didn't look like it affected or made calls to the windows installer or registry



and I didn't notice the behaviour until trying the other suggextion of intellipoint which someone later pointed out was incompatible with the current msi



at this point, I could care less about scrolling, i've got to play catch up now for a while.



Plus my IT&nbsp;buddy will probably strangle me if I try anything else for a while
