Vista - HTA: allow mouse wheel scroll but hide scrollbars

I was thinking that there is a way to allow a user to scroll an HTA window
using their mouse wheel or the keyboard and still hide the scrollbars.

Is this possible? If so, what should my settings be? I can't crack it...

Thanks much in advance.

I think it may be possible with a little "trial-and-error",
(my usual muddle-through coding technique).

I see two parts, part one is detecting the mouse wheel event.
If you google (scroll html "mouse wheel"), you will find
several pages discussing this, here is one:

It's not exactly what you want, but is does explain how to
detect mouse wheel events.

For the second part, you want to do scrolling (without scroll
bars). I suggest using the "scrollIntoView" method.

The "scrollIntoView" method only applies to certain tags, but
the number of those tags is over fifty, so you should be able
find one-or-two you can work with.

Finally, you will have to set up your page and write some script
to get the scrolling you want. For example, let's say you
decide to use paragraphs for your scrolling element. Then your
script will have to keep track of the id of the paragraph shown
at the top of the page. Then if a mouse wheel event is detected
you would use scrollIntoView to scroll (up or down) so the next
(or previous) paragraph will be shown at the top.

cheers, jw
