I need to disable zooming by scroll in Bing Maps API v8, but keep the zooming buttons.

map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(mapPlaceholderElement,
{
    credentials: options.credentials,
    disableZooming: true, //If this is true, the showZoomButtons is not applied
    mapTypeId: Microsoft.Maps.MapTypeId.road,
    navigationBarMode: Microsoft.Maps.NavigationBarModepact,
    showZoomButtons: true
});

Is there any way, how to enable the buttons and disable the zoom scrolling?

This was just added to the experimental branch of the V8 control last week. To use this you first need to add "&branch=experimental" to the map script URL. You can then add disableScrollWheelZoom: true as a map option. This will be merged into the main release branch near the end of the month.

This is no longer experimental; It is released, and documented.

disableScrollWheelZoom: true
