Well for a different opinion I hate panning with a mouse unless have button or key down.. Its a game interface feature but it makes for a difficult interface when you have more complex things to do. In particular, if the mouse is panning without a key down, then accessing toolbars etc is difficult. > Numerous times I have accidentally zoomed out to far, then lost the > location I was looking at and had to search for it again. A revert to previous view button and stack is really good feature. ---------------------------------------------------------- Phil Scadden, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
