Hi:
Please don't laugh but I just recently got a "wheel" mouse at work where I
do all my development.
Anyway, I just noticed that my app (BC5.02 and OWLNext) does not scroll with
the mouse wheel. I have a window onto which I add a vertical scroll bar and
it responds to the EV_WM_VSCROLL event. But when I use the wheel, nothing
happens. Any idea as to how to fix this?
Also, the BC5.02 IDE windows do not respond to the wheel either! Any idea
how to fix this?
TIA

If the scrollbar is custom created by you, you may have to handle
EV_WM_MOUSEWHEEL event in the window.
mouse wheel messages to vscroll ones ... but that was a long time ago,
probably when I was working under Win2000.
Now, under WinXP I was unable to find such driver.

I think there are at least two ways I've been told (and tried) to
solve this.
One was to download the.. I believe microsoft intellimouse driver and
there is an option to send messages slightly differently for the mouse
wheel.
The other was a little app that was written by some windows guru. I
forget his name. it was available I believe via his book and via
msdn.. matt pietrek. if you grep you should be able to find his
program and set it up to work with the ide. Oh hell, google is so
easy.. 10 seconds later.. I think this is it:
