Responding to horizontal scroll messages from MS miceHello!
Does anyone know how to respond to the horizontal scroll messages sent by Microsoft mice (the ones which allow you to move the wheel to the left and right)? Regards, Sebastian I don't have that mouse to test anything but you may want to see if the
examples at VBAccelerator get you pointed in the right direction. One sample: http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Tips/Detecting_Mouse_XButton_Clicks/article.asp -- Show quoteHide quoteChris Hanscom - Microsoft MVP (VB) Veign's Resource Center http://www.veign.com/vrc_main.asp Veign's Blog http://www.veign.com/blog -- "Sebastian Mares" <SebastianMa***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:402653F1-BE64-4612-873C-F5B89705CF2B@microsoft.com... > Hello! > > Does anyone know how to respond to the horizontal scroll messages sent by > Microsoft mice (the ones which allow you to move the wheel to the left and > right)? > > Regards, > Sebastian Hello!
Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried the vbAccelerator suggestion and it didn't work. Moreover, every now and then the example project they have leads to a general protection fault (when compiled, not in the IDE).

I will try it out ASAP.

Do I have to send any messages to a picture box in order to receive
the tilt wheel messages? I have a picture box and two scroll bars. When the user scrolls the wheel (vertically) over the picture box, I can get the VScroll to scroll, but it doesn't work for the HScroll. I tried printing all messages and parameters passed to the picture box, but while vertical scroll messages are passed, I never receive a vertical scroll message.

If you're not seeing the messages coming through then I would recommend grabbing the latest drivers and see if that makes any difference. When you say you printed all the messages and parameters, do you mean you've put code in each of the event handlers for the VB object or that you've subclassed the window and are printing out the WM_* messages it's being sent? The latter should give you a more accurate representation of what's actually being sent to the window rather than just what VB chooses to interpret.

What I mean is that I subclassed the picture box / form and am printing uMsg, lParam and wParam. When I am subclassing a text box with horizontal scroll bars, the horizontal scroll message seems to be intercepted, so I might have to send some messages to the picture box to make Windows thing it's scrollable.
