Hello Community,
I am using Labview 2016 32-bit
When I scroll the mouse wheel on the combo box, it scrolls through all the values. When I click the dropdown arrow and my populated values appear, the mouse wheel scroll does not work. How can I scroll through the values in the dropdown list?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Currently there is no mouse wheel for combo boxes
You could add that to the idea exchange...but, that is really not what combo box is for... honestly, I've used 2 in twenty years. I can listen to why a combo box needs to scroll.

Is there an alternative control that would better?

A combo box is specifically a "combo" because you can type in it and also choose preset values.
If you only need preset values, which is what it looks like, I would suggest a listbox. It takes up space all the time because it doesn't collapse itself but the scrolling works with a wheel just fine.

You can create one yourself with a combo box and a listbox.
Listbox supports mouse wheel scroll.
Here is an example:
