I have some menus that contain many menuitems. Mouse wheel doesn't scroll them. I have to use the keyboard arrows or click the arrows at top and bottom. Is it possible to use the mouse wheel to scroll toolstrip menu items? in vb.net Thanks

This is the way the Windows controls work: you will see the same thing in every other Windows form (for example, the Favorites menu in an IE browser with a large number of bookmarks.) You cannot override this behavior unless you write your own menu controls to implement what you want, and that is a very complex situation.

A much better solution -- and probably why Microsoft implemented menus the way they did -- is to organize things into sub-menus. Looking again at IE, you have the top-level View menu, then several sub-menus such as Text size. If you must implement a list of menu items that are arbitrarily long, your only options are to make due or write your own.
