I do not use the "push down" functionality since I don´t need it. But you can configure another button than wheel button (if your mouse has additional ones) to push down windows. KatMouse has only limited per-application settings: you can deactive support for single applications but can not define different actions of mouse buttons for different apps. I use my mouse driver for these purposes (MS IntelliPoint driver).

But it gets off-topic now... If you have further questions, please email me directly.

To make use of my so beloved markup:
~ I compare this solution to digging for oil very deeply to get the powerful oil. (Powerful in terms of "oil can be converted into power" meaning it's just one form of power among many other forms like e.g. money, beautiness, intelligence, physical power, military power, mass, accelerated objects, changing anything changeable in any space...)

Where does it's power come from:
+ DllCall
+ SendMessage
+ << operations (one needs some amount of understanding of Knuth's books here)

The used principle might be formulated like: "Connect simple events like here mouse over with low-level events using e.g. DllCall, SendMessage and bitshift operations."

If anyone wants to find a topic to write a nice tutorial about, the three big plus signs above might be some hints.

I love mouse scrolling and use it a lot (now with Dexxa Mouse driver, which works for me with a Logitech wireless Mouse).

What I want is scrolling the control under the mouse, even if not active.

I tried this sample, derived from the documentation:



It has 2 parts merged, because some applications are responsive to one kind and others to the other.

But it doesn't work in Excel, Access, etc.

Would it be easy to adapt your vertical examples (which I hadn't had time to try yet) to horizontal scrolling?

Thanks.

For me only this version work (scrolling breaks with others at all), but it scrolls only background window, no working scrolling with the foremost one. So I changed the shortcut to !Wheel, now i scroll foremost windows without Alt and background windows with it.

Another varaint; mostly cosmetic changes:

Good and Great for me to, i like the scrolling without windows focused,
Simple and Effective, big thank's AHK-Forum

I found a program that doesn't like the very elegant solution by shimanov: Trillian Astra. Wheel scrolling doesn't work at all in Trillian's message windows while this script is active.

As a workaround, I look to see what the active app and hovered app are and send the default wheel messages if they are both trillian.exe. Unfortunately, that means no "hover scroll" for Trillian, but that's better than no wheel scrolling at all!

Hi there!

I need your help. I know nothing about scripting/programming at all, so please, if it's not that hard for you: could you please adopt this script for my needs?

I use Firefox, Total Commander and Miranda (TabSRMM chat container + clist_modern). All these progs use tabs. Miranda and Firefox have it's own abilities to scroll tabs, and Total Commander hasn't.

I want to have a script that will be able to scroll anything under the cursor without activating it (and without scroll acceleration).

I've tried all of the scripts from this topic and each of them does only part of what I need, but this parts are different, so maybe it's possible to mix all the advantages of these scripts, throw away all disadvantages and then combine them into one single script.

Here are the exact details of what I need:
1. No activation of the scrollable objects.
2. Tab scroll for the 3 programs mentioned above.
3. No scroll acceleration.

In order to try to help you helping me:
The only script that partially (it has some bugs) supports scroll for miranda's container tabs is TheLeO's version of the script.

All other scripts brake the built-in ability of (at least) Miranda (or even Firefox's too). But even this script is not bug-free: when scrolling active window of chat log or tabs in the chat container (TabSRMM), it also scrolls contact list (bug works only for my lovely clist_modern, but not for clist_nicer, btw).

EDIT:

This script was written by Mad*Forces / ZeLen1y under WTFPL license and it works best for TotalCommander - it can scroll inactive part of window without activating it, can scroll tabs of (in)active part of window, can scroll foreground applications and explorer windows, also without activating them, but it works bad with firefox: if firefox is not active, and I try to scroll tabs or tab's content - nothing happens.
It works good with (in)active TabSRMM chat container, but not with it's tabs.
Please, ignore the timer, as this script was written specially for me and I really requested that thing.

please, don't ignore my post, I really need help badly! :(

I think trillian needs the scroll event to be send to the textbox control in chat window. With a scroll script active, it scrolls only if I have the cursor over the textbox area. Unfortunately the ClassNN is the same for the chat log control above it, and if you use Tabs, the number at the end of classNN appears to be random. Comparing the positions and visibility of the controls might be a way to find the correct one.

I also noticed another program that has issues with it, AdiIRC (probably not so common, but I use it). It zooms the chat window when you scroll too fast...

Thanks for this. I like it a lot. One thing, I used to have "~LControl & WheelUp" and down mapped to scroll to the left and right. It of course broke when I started using this script.

I tried replacing "0x20A" with "0x114" which is "WM_HSCROLL" which was used in my old hotkey, but that doesn't do anything. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Thank you, shimanov!!
Solves soo many problems.

For those that integrated this in your big script, like me, you have to put the following line at the top of your script or you'll have some problems:

(I don't think "return" below that is needed)

Confirmed! shimanov's solution doés work on Trillian Astra if you position you cursor over the chat input area (where you type your text), even if not active. (And otherwise it indeed doesn't. Unfortunate..)

I recently migrated to Autohotkey_L and shimanov's solution stopped working, I am afraid. Anyone know any solution?

Shimanov's solution stopped working for me too when I migrated from Autohotkey_L 32-bit to Autohotkey_L 64-bit version.
