Bob,
Thanks for your reply. You're right about changing the WheelScrollLines in
the registry. It's a situation I want to avoid.

I've tried your idea about adjusting the count prior to giving it to the
control but that doesn't work. I did find that if I put a trackbar on the
form with the LED control and have the LED value change with the trackbar
position, I can get the desired effect with the mouse wheel. I guess I can
hide the trackbar since it's redundant.

Steve
