Mouse Wheel?

[tetris002]

Is there a way to utilize Mouse Wheel commands in AutoIt3?

Or possibly in AutoHotKey?

Thanks!

I'll check the APIs to see if it can be done. And if so add it for a later version (current features are frozen for initial release)

Edit: Seems simple enough but it will only work on NT/2000/XP

Win 98/ME can also understand the mousewheel. Will your solution work there too?

The docs say:

MOUSEEVENTF_WHEEL

Windows NT/2000/XP: Specifies that the wheel has been moved, if the mouse has a wheel. The amount of movement is specified in dwData

[Nutster]

How about checking out Microsoft documentation for VC6? It is in the Windows 98 samples area.

I that just tracks mouse functions rather than simulates them.

[Nutster]

Hmm, what about explicitly posting the message to simulate(stimulate?) the MOUSEWHEEL? I will try it this week end and let you know.

mousewheel, puhleeeze gimmie control of the mousewheel. I have another ap I am trying to control, and the only way to get it to accept input properly is to use the mousewheel to move the ``cells'' in my window. Otherwise, the web browser screen stops accepting {right} commands and my cells die. puhleeze ... quickly, hack, handle, workaround, puhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhleezepuhl

Have I said `please' enough?

grazie ...

(If I had a really good sig file, this is where it would go ..)

FWIW I was rippin cause the mouse would not work in VB or VBA. I have some interesting code in a zip file that I got after lots of reading. I'll pass it on if you tell me how?

MouseWheel() function added to the current unstable version at http://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit3/files/unstable/autoit/

willing to test ... I think I grabbed the *.zip file, but -- sorry -- not finding a reference to use it. suggestions on where to look?

MouseWheel ( "direction" [, clicks] ) example MousWheel("up", 3)

direction is "up" or "down"

clicks is a number; if omitted, 1 is used

Works on Windows NT/2000/XP ONLY

I was right the first time. I didn't grab or extract the zip file correctly. sorry for the doh! question, but what should I be extracting?

[MacroKing]

that is, i downloaded the zip files, unzipped them to my v3 directory, but when I tried to use the mousewheel command, I got essentially `this program has never heard of that function' error message, so I am assuming I did not grab and extract the files properly ... thanks.
