Quick question (I hope)

I can see how to detect mouse movement and button click events on a form,
but is there a way to detect the use of a mouse wheel or other (3rd or
more) mouse buttons in word/vba ?

Thanks,

Jim

Unfortunately there is an equally quick answer. VBA has nothing like that.
It *might* be possible with a great deal of hacking the Windows API to do
this, but I'm not aware of anyone who has succeeded and published the
resulting code.

Jonathan,

Thanks for replying so quickly,

Bummer.

As with so many other things in life, patience may prove to be my only
solution. Perhaps in windows 2020 it will be possible.

Again, my thanks,

Jim
