Capture MousewheelEvent

[maysm]

I want to capture the mouse wheel event on a window with scrollbar so the scrollbar position changes correspondingly.

It seems like the EventWheelChange never gets sent.
I'm bound to be missing something in the implementation.
Changing the EventWheelChange to EventMouseClick works properly. So I'm subscribing the listener correctly in the right window and the correct function is called.

If there is a post concerning this topic or any help you can spare, I would greatly appreciate direction to it.

-Thank you to the supporters of this forum its a great help-

Are you injecting the mouse wheel in System ?

[maysm]

Thats what I need to do! Thanks.
Where is the mousewheel, I see scrolls and right, left and middle click?

The API reference is your friend Values of +-1.0 work well for normal stepped wheels.

Any Idea why
osgGA::GUIEventAdapter::MouseYOrientation value is always Y_INCREASING_UPWARDS.

After using:
CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseWheelChange(1);

I would like the MouseOrientation to clear or something such that its not always Y_INCREASING_UPWARDS.

Any idea what to change this value to and/or how to clear or change state of this?

-Thats for your time,

I dont know osg

Last thing,

by injectiMouseWheelChange(1)
will that make wheelChange = wheelChange +1 ?
So far it seems to have no effect.
I debugged and It is running the inject code.

-Thanks

CEGUI does not think of the wheel as having an absolute position. only the relative movement is interesting. injecting +1 while hovering the mouse over a scrolled listbox should scroll the listbox!

[maysm]

Will it also scroll a scrollbar that has been added to a window or should the window be a scrollpane?

[lindquist]

It will not scroll automagically. You have to do it yourself by handling the scroll event and repositioning the scrollbar IIRC.

Yeah, that's right. Having just read that here, my first thought was "that's kind of lame" - I think maybe adding a setting to enable auto-scrolling via the wheel would be a good addition
