Mouse Scroll on Combobox of VBA

Anonymous
Not applicable

Goodmorning,

to facilitate the compilation of all iporperties that we use in company, I made a little menù with Userform in Inventor's VBA.

In this menù I put a combobox with a several objects, now, if I use this combobox it appears the vertical scrollbar, but I can't scroll this list with mouse wheel.

Someone can help me?

My experience is that the mousescroll is not supported for that feature. 

If needed you need to create your own object for that.

That is not easy.

If you start using vb.net than is will be much easier for you. If you are familiar with vba, then vb.net shouldn't be a problem.
