The wheel is just seen as a couple of buttons, usually button 4 for up and
5 for down. You cannot generate "scroll" events but you can generate
"scroll wheel" events by generating button 4 and/or 5 events. Be aware that
an application is free to ignore "synthetic" events, that is: events
generated by other applications.
Hope this helps,
