Hold down middle click, the cursor will get locked in place and your mouse x/y motion are converted to horizontal and vertical scrolls.

Best tested in Firefox and/or spreadsheet applications, as this script sends fine-grained scroll inputs (some legacy applications ignore scroll inputs that are less than +/- 120).

If you want to coarse-scroll in legacy applications, just use the scrollwheel on your mouse.

 

 

------- v1.2 adds time and delta thresholds for better compatibility with poorly written software such as Chrome -------

tpmiddle-v1.2.au3tpmiddle-v1.2.exe

------- v1.1 is the smoothest scrolling (v1.0 as well, just structured slightly differently) -------

tpmiddle-v1.1.au3 tpmiddle-v1.1.exe

------- v1.0 -------

tpmiddle.exe tpmiddle.au3

request to move thread to autoit technical discussion

Why? That forum is for: "Technical discussions, betas, editors, help file, add-on tools, etc."

It looks fine to me right here: "cool AutoIt scripts, UDFs and applications"

Well, I was hoping for some more feedback and/or discussion on the usage of the API, which seems more fitting on the technical discussion board. Do you suppose then that I should make a separate thread there, then?

AutoXenon,

First, when you reply in future, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - responders know what they wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily. Thanks in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

Now, as to getting comments - why do you think they will not be made here? If you get none here, then I doubt changing to a less-well read location will help. But if you want to start a collaborative project, then I would be happy to move this thread to the "AutoIt Projects and Collaboration" sub-forum. Just let me know.
