today, I implemented two commands to scoll with the mouse wheel, which I'd like to share with you. I find them very useful, especiallyin web apps which implement their own scroll bar.

Command: mouse wheel <1to100> down

Declare Function mouse_event Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal dB As Long, ByVal dX As Long, ByVal dY As Long, ByVal dP As Long, ByVal dE As Long) As Long

 

Sub Main

  dist = CInt(ListVar1)

  mouse_event(&H800,0,0,-120*dist,0) 

End Sub

This is great. I needed something like this. I am mostly writing in Jarte where the page up and page down functions move the cursor instead of just moving the page view. I have been relying on the mouse to scroll the page down.

However, I think there's an error in the mouse wheel up code. It seems to be the same as the mouse wheel down code.

I fixed it by changing "-120" to "120"

Oh yes, sorry, that was my fault. I copied and pasted the code below into the text (from above, not from the command center) and the error crept in. Thanks for the correction!

Lunis, thank you for the reminder about this "Wheel" direction. I was just about to post a question/frustration about not being able to navigate up and down in LinkedIn pop-up windows.
Gratefully,
Dan

I didn't realize it was in there. Now I've got 2 commands they do the same thing. Story of my life.

Not sure why there is a mouse wheel left or right. I thought wheels can only go one direction or the other i.e. up or down

Thanks Mark

My Logitech Trackman mouse (M570)'s wheel has forward, backward, right, left and click (press down to get a "wheel clip"). I think there are keyboards with nubs positioned centrally within the keys which also do left, right, forward & backward). I'm not sure how track pads present but they also do (at a bare minimum) before Cardinal directions.

Hi Mark, I have a standard Microsoft fat mouse and have had mouse wheels that tilt left and right for years. For the most part, the tilting is pretty useless for me. It would scroll windows left/right if the bottom scroll bar was showing, but how often does that happen? Not often, for me.

 

I also have the wheel click (like Edgar mentioned above), but I never use it. You click to put an anchor marker on the screen, and then move the mouse up/down/left/right to start smooth scrolling. The farther from the anchor you move, the faster the scrolling proceeds.
