The point is, I'm drawing my own listboxes, so I need to implement wheel-scrolling on my own.

Currently we don't provide you with a way to know when the scroll wheel has been used. You can either 1) wait until we implement it in a future release which may very well be 6.0. ;-) or 2) Do some very nasty declares to hook into the message handler and get notified that the mouse wheel has been used. Keep in mind that with #2, if you do things wrong you'll either 1) crash your app, or 2) cause some very obscure bugs to happen with the way your application responds to user input. Of course there's also 3) everything works fine.

HTH!
