mouse scrolling like control click?

[masayume]

i am currently using a python autoit lib from this

https://pypi.org/project/autoit/

currently i manage to use controlclick using that to send mouse click without interfering the cursor as i still need to use my mouse while the script is running. But there is some part

where i need to use my mouse scroll but i dont see any type of controlclick way for mouse scroll that does not use the mouse cursor to scroll.

just wondering is there anything like this? i tried to find some solution in python but most of them need to use the mouse cursor to scroll

An alternative solution could be to use the SEND command {PGUP}, {PGDN}, {HOME} or {END}. It might work?

Depending on the type of window you may also use the {UP} and {DOWN} arrows to scroll

i tried, page up and down and arrow key as well does not work on scrolling. i am using this on an emulator for an messaging application

search for sendinput, sendmessage, keybd_event

win32api.sendmessage is for python

@ad777, Appreciate the help you are giving, but please don't go back too far in time as that just brings all these old thread back alive while the OP probably moved on already.
