Another idea: instead of sending wheel events, if these funny windows are below the mouse, send scroll up or down events.

I will stick with this version atm

I thought of just sending WheelUp/Down in the first place, but I don't see that there's any way to direct a wheel event at a specific control... ControlClick doesn't have an option for the Wheel, only other mouse buttons (and ControlSend can't send mouse-related actions).

Have you tried replacing the wheel event messages with scroll up or down messages?

That didn't work. I've never written any AHK script ... so I tried changing
PostMessage 0x20A to
PostMessage 0x115

Which stops all scrolling on any window. I'll keep reading.

For Windows CE (should be the same for most Windows versions), read http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceui40/html/cerefwm_vscroll.asp for the parameters.

To add some items to the bug list, not only Laszloīs latest script but all other scripts also do not work with Firefox, Internet Explorer and - because the same control is used - the content pane of Windows Help (hh.exe): These controls do not scroll any more even if the window has the focus!

I donīt think I have a very special system setup, just a german XP Pro SP2, admin rights, no other scripts or window manipulating software running.
Is it really just me having probs with these obvious programs?

It could be a mouse driver issue. Maybe it does not generate the proper wheel events. These scripts work for me in MSIE6 and Windows Help (XP SP2 US-English). Have you tried MS IntelliMouse? Also, there are mouse settings in TweakUI.

Good point!
I already use the latest version of IntelliPoint and also IntelliType. Maybe these programs interfere in some way because I found a very strange behavior:
My MS keyboard also has a scroll wheel - and exactly in the windows where the mouse wheel is disfunctional, the keyboard wheel works! Shocked
So for me the solution will be using KatMouse which works fine with my hardware combination.

Nevertheless, thanks for pointing me in the right direction - it saved me a lot of investigation!

I personally can't stand laggy scrolling, it's horrible..
but i really like the idea of scrolling windows under the mouse,

I used Testers first script and changed it a little.

The scipt below uses the fact that:
•if you scroll outside of the active window, the window usually doesnt pick up the event.

it doesn't stop *natural* scroll wheel events. but rather sends additional scroll events to windows underneath the mouse if the window below the mouse is not the active one(preventing double scrolling)..

works fine for most of the windows, but some times/occasionnaly you get the inventalbe bug of both windows scrolling.

I the usefullness makes up for the bug.


Code:


CoordMode Mouse, Screen
WheelTime  = 500
WheelDelta:= 120 << 16
WheelMax  := 4 * WheelDelta


~WheelUp::
~WheelDown::
WinGet, V_CurrentWindowID, ID, A
MouseGetPos,,, V_WinUnderMouseID
WinGetTitle, V_CurrentWinTITLE, ahk_id %V_CurrentWindowID%
WinGetTitle, V_WinUnderMouseTITLE, ahk_id %V_WinUnderMouseID%

If ( ((V_CurrentWinTITLE) = (V_WinUnderMouseTITLE)) AND ((V_CurrentWindowID) = (V_WinUnderMouseID))  )
  Return

   Critical
   If (A_ThisHotKey <> A_PriorHotKey OR A_TimeSincePriorHotkey > WheelTime)
        WCnt = %WheelDelta%
   Else If (WCnt < WheelMax)
        WCnt+=  WheelDelta
   MouseGetPos m_x, m_y
   hw_m_target := DllCall("WindowFromPoint", "int",m_x, "int",m_y)
If (A_ThisHotKey) = "~WheelUp"
  SendMessage 0x20A, WCnt, (m_y<<16)|m_x,,ahk_id %hw_m_target% ; WM_MOUSEWHEEL
Else
  SendMessage 0x20A,-WCnt, (m_y<<16)|m_x,,ahk_id %hw_m_target% ; WM_MOUSEWHEEL
return

I'm using the first accelerated version of shimanov's code. Thanks to all involved here. But I don't know clearly yet where and how this "KatMouse" functionality will improve my workflow?

Thatīs an easy one: It improves it in the same way the scripts listed here - it will save you a lot clicks since you donīt have to activate the area you want to scroll by clicking it. A good example is the Windows Explorer: to scroll in either the tree view (left pane) or the file list (right pane), just move the mouse over the pane and go scrolling - no need to click into the pane (and eventually lose selection of files).

I personally prefer KatMouse over these scripts because I use it for years now and it works flawlessly at all times. Why should I bother finding out if one these scripts do also? KatMouse is also freeware and has a small footprint, too.

Thanks for further examples. I can understand your point. Btw. even if KatMouse would use much more resources there's also another principle: "Never change a running system." (This is especially true for Vista users who give away anyway lots of resources.)

? What is the most flexible use for the middle mouse button (as we have found a very good one for the wheel now). I would like to make it dependent on the used application. KatMouse seems to have an option for "pushing windows into the background" if I understood it correctly from the description on its website.
