One annoying behavior of the VB6 IDE editor, especially when switching back to it from more recent tools like VS.NET, is that it doesn't recognize the mousewheel! Maybe VB6 was brought out when most mice didn't have one, but is there a way to fix it so it does recognize the mousewheel?
At my company we use a free tool Gazanov VBScroll, which works with VBA and also works in the SDI mode of the VB6 IDE (unlike the MS add-in). http://www.gasanov.net/VBScroll.asp

Yes, and the solution is the top-voted answer in the question what are your favourite VB6 tips and tricks. Do have a look at the other answers, it is well worth it. Even my four answers IMHO :)

That topic you mention is new to me, but yes, good point and I will be sure to look it over; thanks for mentioning it. Oddly enough, it did not pop up as a possible dupe when I composed the question.

I don't like that add-in method, at all. Very limited, in that it didn't work in VBA. And the requisite IDE subclassing is just asking for trouble, it seems. I always liked the 3rd party tool Wheeler best, which worked with VB5, VB6, and VBA. But, sadly, it seems the company that provided it (Eluent Software) has taken down their website.

@Starwatcher, I didn't mean your question was a duplicate, but clearly you hadn't seen the tips and tricks, so I wanted to strongly recommend you look at them. I just hate to think what else you might be missing - MZTools?
