Windows API: TurnOff MouseWheel?
2002-11-01 -- Jim Kane
 
Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion getsystemmetrics can tell you if there is a mouse wheel systemparametersinfo() can tell you its scroll lines and setting that to zero disables it. Control Panel\Microsoft Input Devices\Mouse\Exceptions\ registery key and and some registry programming is much better - it lists your program as an exception but doesnt take effect to next boot. so I use a combo of both. if I dont find the registry key I disable the mouse whichel the program runs for ALL programs. if I see the registry key then I do nothing. After tons of complaints down to none with this approach. MSDN has all the details as usual. jim kane "Kevin Erskine" wrote in message news:3dc2e5b2@news.softvelocity.com... > Is there anyway to turn off the MouseWheel while in a CW application EXE? > > All my clients are complaining that when they use the MouseScroll Wheel on a > Browse it locks up the program! > > They said it would be OK to turn it Off if the problem can not be fixed. > > Kevin Name Kevin B.
