My.Computer.Mouse Object
Provides properties for getting information about the format and configuration of the mouse installed on the local computer.
Remarks
The My.Computer.Mouse object provides a way to find information about the computer's mouse: whether the mouse buttons are swapped, and details about the mouse wheel.
Example
This example uses the My.Computer.Mouse.WheelExists and My.Computer.Mouse.WheelScrollLines properties to determine if the mouse has a scroll wheel and how much to scroll when it rotates.
If My.Computer.Mouse.WheelExists Then
Dim lines As Integer = My.Computer.Mouse.WheelScrollLines
If lines > 0 Then
MsgBox("Application scrolls " & _
lines & " line(s) for each wheel turn.")
Else
MsgBox("Application scrolls " & _
(-lines) & " page(s) for each wheel turn.")
End If
Else
MsgBox("Mouse has no scroll wheel.")
End If
