 | Has anyone given any thought to allowing the mouse wheel to work in the editor? It would geatly simplify scrolling through it. For that matter, why not make it work inside grids and combo boxes too. And since this is the wishing well here's my penny wish, I wish that there was an integrated spelling checker for memo and/or entry fields too.

| Hi Charles,
There's Marc Van den Berghen solution, it works fine. See for more
information his website at
http://www.vdblogic.de/dbl/index.htm
The classes he built work for grids, listboxes, editors, and since recently,
for reportviewers as well.
Another possibility is given by some italic website, to be found under
http://www.mediabytesw.it/mbmouse.htm
Their solution is based in MS Visual Basic.
However, I agree fully with you that the Wheelmouse should function properly
from the core product, it's not making a premium reputation that one has to
look for third party tools to manufacure a scrolling through an everyday
object like a grid or an editor.
Best regards, Heinz

interested in spell checking with MS Word? Put the following function
key into your custom editor class. Here is the code:
function key(nChar)
if nChar == 18 and len(this.value.righttrim()) > 0
// start spell checking with strg+r
local lChooseWord
lChooseWord = true
private oword
try
oword=new oleautoclient("word.application")
catch (exception e)
if type('oword') = 'O' //If it's an object release it
release object oWord
endif
lChooseWord = false
endtry
if lChooseWord
//Word is accessible -- set it up & open spell checker
oword.documents.add("normal.dot",false)
oWord.selection.text := this.value
oword.visible = true
oword.activedocument.checkspelling()
oword.visible = false
oword.activedocument.select()
oword.selection.copy()
this.value = '' //clear editor
this.setfocus()
this.paste() //paste corrected text into editor
this.value := this.value
oword.quit(false) //object housekeeping
release object oword
oword=null
endif
endif
return false

Carolyn,
I don't know the QAID number, but this has been recorded already. Wheel
mouse wishes have been around for a while.
