Ring control scrolling with mouse

Folks,

This seems too simple but I am stuck and need help.  I am using a Ring control to allow the user to make a selection form a list of options.  I think it would be helpful if the user could scroll trough the list by using the mouse wheel.  However, I cannot make this work satisfactorily while the control is 'open' (i.e. displaying the list).  

Scrolling while hovering over the 'closed' ring works (with mouse wheel hover support enabled), but this then shows only one single item at a time and in not really intuitive to me.  But then, when the user clicks the arrow to open the list, mouse-wheel support stops working.  

Sometimes, before the mouse points at the list (still pointing at the control gadget) I can scroll, but then the other built-in scroll function takes over - when the mouse is above or below the list it scrolls up or down.  

Is there a (simple) way in which the user can be pointing the mouse an part of an open Ring list, rotate the mouse wheel and have the list scroll appropriately?  A Listbox control works exactly this way.  

Thanks,

Ian

You can create your own xcontrol-ring with a listbox.

I created one for combo box:
