Very (VERY) simple script to fix MS Mouse / Intellipoint wheel issues in Windows 7. As the Intellipoint driver sends mousewheel event with small deltas (smaller than the default value of 120), several programs just doesn't know how to handle them and fails to register the event.

This script catches the Intellipoint-generated events and sends a new, identical one but with a standard (120) delta and fixes the issue.

Intellipoint can send 70-120 small mousewheel events per second, thus the MaxHotkeysPerInterval directive.

Code:

; Simple, catch-all script:

#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 200
WheelDown::WheelDown
WheelUp::WheelUp

Another, more complete version, affecting only the windows of programs currently unable to handle the mouse delta. Affected programs known to me: Picasa, Quicken 2008

Code:

#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 200

GroupAdd, MousewheelHandler, ahk_class QFRAME
GroupAdd, MousewheelHandler, ahk_class ytWindow
; Add your own affected windows to the group here

#IfWinActive ahk_group MousewheelHandler
WheelDown::WheelDown
WheelUp::WheelUp

Wow, I'm impressed. I never thought those code lines that apparently do nothing actually fix mouse wheeling on certain kinds of mice.

fincs might like to know the docs wrote:

When a script is launched, each remapping is translated into a pair of hotkeys. For example, a script containing a::b actually contains the following two hotkeys instead:

Code:

*a::
SetKeyDelay -1   ; If the destination key is a mouse button, SetMouseDelay is used instead.
Send {Blind}{b DownTemp}  ; DownTemp is like Down except that other Send commands in the script won't assume "b" should stay down during their Send.
return

*a up::
SetKeyDelay -1  ; See note below for why press-duration is not specified with either of these SetKeyDelays.
Send {Blind}{b Up}
return

PLEASE NOTE, the docs wrote:

The following keys are not supported by the built-in remapping method:

The mouse wheel (WheelUp/Down/Left/Right).
...

It creates key-up hotkeys for WheelDown and WheelUp which are never executed (only the key-down hotkeys are executed). You should probably use something simpler (more transparent at least):

Code:

WheelDown::Send {WheelDown}
WheelUp::Send {WheelUp}

Code:

WheelDown::Click WD
WheelUp::Click WU

Untested.

That was not a sarcasm...
