I'm using this code from Peter Thornton which enables me to scroll in a userform listbox, but every time my mouse goes through the listbox (just moving the cursor to another part of the userform, without even clicking) it "activates" the listbox. Is there any way I can "block" this from happening? I mean, any way that the mouse scroll can work only when I click on that down arrow to open the listbox?
This is Peter Thronton's code:
