Is there a way to make gui combo scrolling in win10 easier?

[kokoilie]

I'm making a program that has a combo control in a gui and back in win7 when the window was focused the scroll wheel could be used to scroll through it's contents, now i'm using win10 and i have to put the mouse on that control to scroll up and down.
Since now the scroll wheel works depending on where the mouse is, is there a way to make it no matter where on the gui the pointer is?
Also if the only way to do it is some complex hotkey functions will it work with pressing space to toggle a checkbox?
If you need to see what i have so far let me know and i'll copy it here.

with "$cstart = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Start", 10, 35, 50, 20, 0x0001)" i managed to make it start without using hotkeys, hopefully there is something similar for the other ctrls

Seeing how many answers I got, I decided to try a different approach on the issue. Got happy with the "low tech" fix by making the checkbox 1st and using the arrow keys to navigate to and in the combo list. Here is how it looks now:
