It is obviously different from one program to another what the mousewheel is doing
Mozilla allows ctrl+mousewheel to zoom in on text - make it bigger and smaller Some programs - like notepad - allow to press the mousewheel and then move the mouse to left and right to do horisontal scroll It is important to activate the mousewheel for it to work 2006/8/21, Eric Iverson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
My main comments were about Java so your experience in Xp is interesting, but not directly relevant. What happens when you scroll vertically and horizontally with your mouse in an ijs or ijx window? I believe vertical works. The horizontal might work as well. The new messages aren't handled directly, but are mapped to normal scroll messages that are supported. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Vincent-Jones" < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Beta forum'" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2006 6:37 PM Subject: RE: [Jbeta] mousewheel I am reading your email in Outlook (Win XP) and using a MS wireless mouse. .. The 'focus' has been set on the message header but I am now 'hovering' over the message preview. I can scroll the preview, hit Delete/or Down to move to the next message and without mouse movement will now be scrolling the next message. Pushing the wheel sideways will effect sideways scrolling on even 6 and 7 year-old programs. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Iverson Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2006 14:42 To: Beta forum Subject: Re: [Jbeta] mousewheel As far as I can tell the horizontal scroll wheel is not supported in Java. The IDE uses the standard Java JTextArea control for the J IDE. My guess is that on your Mac with a mouse with both vertical and horizonal wheels (however packaged) you will see that the vertical wheel works (as it is supported) and the horizontal won't. Probably by the time 602 comes out the support for horzl mouse wheel will be available for both Java and Windows for isigraph and other controls. The J IDE uses a standard Java JTextArea control. There is no easy option to get the Mac focus vs caret behavior. Digging in and doing it the hard way is beyond the scope of the current release. A habit of clicking the IDE frame (as Oleg suggests) can mitigate. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joey K Tuttle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Beta forum" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2006 6:42 PM Subject: Re: [Jbeta] mousewheel > At 18:18 -0400 2006/08/19, Eric Iverson wrote: >>As far as I can tell in both Windows and Java the mousewheel event is >>always and only sent to the control with focus.
