I want to generate a Scroll event (identical to a scroll wheel on a mouse) but from software. Is there a function that will let me do this? I know there is XWarpPointer to move the pointer and XSendEvent but I'm not sure how to generate a scroll event. Any info apprectiated.
Does a Scroll event in X mean the same thing as is sent from a mouse's scroll wheel? Or is there another meaning (Like scrolling around a destop)?
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,
