wolfbartels Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Hi, is it possible in an .au3 to detect the movements of the mouse wheel and translate these to corresponding {UP}s and {DOWN}s for use in Send() ??? I use a script to extend control of an old fashioned 16-bit program. I want to implement text scrolling with the mousewheel, as actually scrolling can be done only by using {UP} and {DOWN} keys. Thanks for any idea.
PsaltyDS Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 You have to catch WM_MOUSEWHEEL notification messages. Haven't needed to do it myself, so I don't have a demo of it. You might search for that message to get more help though. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

wolfbartels Posted May 13, 2010 Author Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks PsaltyDS and Melba23, it works fine, both ways, moving the mousewheel vertically or horizontally. Excellent. Now I'll try to translate these movements in Send ( arrow keys ). I want to teach mouse scrolling to an old Win95 parametric CAD program that knows only arrow keys.
wolfbartels Posted May 17, 2010 Author Posted May 17, 2010 I have a CAD application (Win 3.1) which I improved using an AutoIt script to add some buttons. This works fine.Now I want the content in the CAD window to scroll using the mousewheel.I added the following code (thanks to Melba23 and PsaltyDS):GUIRegisterMsg($WM_MOUSEWHEEL, "_WM_MOUSEWHEEL") ......... Func _WM_MOUSEWHEEL($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $lParam $hWnd = $hCAD ; <-- to force scrolling in CAD window! Local $iDirn = $SB_LINEDOWN If BitShift($wParam, 16) > 0 Then $iDirn = $SB_LINEUP _SendMessage($hWnd, $WM_VSCROLL, $iDirn) Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>_WM_MOUSEWHEELThere is only one problem, the content of the application window ($hCAD) scrolles only if the CAD window is not active, as soon as the CAD window is active the mousewheel is dead. How this can be fixed?

How this can be fixed?Put a ConsoleWrite(), MsgBox(), or something in that event function to see if it is being called then failing to scroll, or if it's not called at all while the CAD app is active.

wolfbartels Posted May 17, 2010 Author Posted May 17, 2010 Hi PsaltyDS, I followed your advice, the event function Func _WM_MOUSEWHEEL in NOT called when the CAD window is active. After clicking anywhere on a GUI created by AutoIt the CAD window becomes not active and the scrolling in this non active window works fine. I suppose the problem has to do with GUIRegisterMsg. How can I force this registration for the CAD window, using AutoIt? Is there a way to detect the MsgID? Is it possible that the old fashioned CAD program supresses the event message?
PsaltyDS Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Ouch. I should have seen that coming. We registered mouse messages coming to AutoIt. You want to get ("hook") mouse messages going to an outside app. Similar to this example, using hook.dll. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
