VB6 IDE Mouse Wheel - Disappearing editor windows?


Anyone else seen the frustrating Disappearing windows which frequently occur when a VB6 developer touches the Mouse wheel?

We use: VB6 SP6 , MS Mouse Intellipoint 5.2 08/17/2004. We we use and are fairly happy with the MS's fix VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll which was released Oct 2004, except for the IDE's disappearing editor windows. Quite frustrating...

Please post this on the Microsoft Newgroups. This forum contains posts regarding Visual Basic 2005.

You're kidding, right?

This MS, VB, IDE forum does not include VB6? How many millions of developers are still at VB6 vs anything newer? IMHO it's a huge majority.

Bad.

I've seen this too. I don't have a fix. But if you always

click INSIDE a scrollable window, you won't have the problem.

The windows disappear when scrolling after clicking in the main MDE window background.

I guess it's some kind of re-positioning of all the client windows in

the interface. I really don't want to try to fix this bug so I

live with it. I tried to form a habit - click, then scroll.

Click, then scroll. This helps with web browsers too since

sometimes the scroll wheel controls the wrong object or nothing at all,

esp. with plugins like Acrobat.
