Why doesn't this work?

Code:
~WHEELUP::
If (GetKeyState("Control") AND GetKeyState("Alt"))
   msgbox,16,,Up
return

~WHEELDOWN::
If (GetKeyState("Control") AND GetKeyState("Alt"))
   msgbox,16,,Down
return


I also tried this:
Code:
~WHEELUP::
   GetKeyState, AltKey, Alt
   GetKeyState, CtrlKey, Ctrl
If (CtrlKey = "D" and AltKey = "D")
   msgbox,UP
return


The following works, but I'd like to be able to hold down the CTRL+ALT keys and roll the mouse, instead of repeatedly hitting those keys.
Code:
^!WHEELUP::Msgbox,Up
^!WHEELDOWN::Msgbox,Down!

If looks like Windows defines Ctrl-Wheel Up/Down (regardless of the state of Alt) for something (in IE6 View/TextSize increase or decrease, in Word zoom + or -10%), which takes precedence over your WHEELUP/DOWN hotkeys. I found, however no problems with
Code:
~^!WHEELUP::
   TrayTip,,Up
return

~^!WHEELDOWN::
   TrayTip,,Down
Return
I don't need to press Ctrl or Alt repeatedly (XP SP2).

Try this one. It should show you that you do have to press CTRL+ALT repeatedly. I'm also on XP SP2.

Code:
~^!WHEELUP::
i++
   TrayTip,,%i%
return

~^!WHEELDOWN::
i--
   TrayTip,,%i%
Return

Short answer: One work-around I've found is to add the line #InstallKeybdHook to the script.

More detail: Without #InstallKeybdHook, your example appears to be sensitive to which modifier you press down first: Ctrl or Alt. If you press Alt down first, it works. But in the opposite order it doesn't.

I think this probably has something to do with the unusual way the OS treats the Alt key (in conjuction with alt-tabbing, menu bar activation, and other low-level features). I've also observed interactions between Ctrl and Alt, such as the fact that Ctrl seems to suppress Alt's native function of activating the menu bar.

download and install the alt-tab replacement. I don't know if you can use the scroll wheel but you can use the arrows and you can click on the icons, very handy.

@Chris - Thanks! I hadn't tried holding down the keys in the opposite order. :)
