How to use mouse to scroll through time stamp in VLC player?

I'm listening to a mix in VLC player and I'd like to scroll forward and backward using the mouse. I was only able to get the volume to go up and down, so I disabled that. But I want to be able to scroll through the time stamp. I used Marquee to make the timestamp appear. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
