This behavior is by design.

Mouse wheel support in Visual Basic 6.0 is a function of the mouse driver. The WM_MOUSEWHEEL message is sent to theFocus window when you rotate the mouse wheel. Because the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE does not have built-in support for scrollingby using the mouse wheel, the IDE ignores the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message. However, IntelliPoint software version 4.12provides mouse wheel support and converts the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message to WM_SCROLL. IntelliPoint software version 4.9and later versions do not have this feature. Therefore, if you want to use the mouse wheel to scroll in the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE,you must use IntelliPoint software version 4.12.
