    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
