Mouse scrolling wheel does not work anywhere

Question

Hello:

I am using VFP 9.0 SP2 and Windows 7. Whether in applications, browse, or prg files, just to mention a few examples, my mouse scroll wheel does not work in VFP. It works in all other applications. I have MS Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and MS IntelliPoint firmware.

This is affectimg my efficiency, so I am eager to find a solution. Any tip would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hans L

 

 

Answer 1

You may try to test with an other mouse type to see from where is the error from driver or vfp....

Solution

This solution works fine for me so far I just tried it today. Go to the mouse Properties, in the buttons tab, Go to “Connected device” just under the photo of the mouse.

Change the type of the mouse to something that works!!! For me I chose IntelliMouse Explorer 3 for the following reasons:  Both mice (Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2 and IntelliMouse Explorer 3 ) has the same set of buttons, even somehow similar shape!

 

Hope this help ;-)

My Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 worked when I pretended it was a Wireless Laser Mouse 8000. Incredible. Viva la Microcrap!
