DanBrill Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Is there a way in Windows to make the mouse wheel scroll up and down a layout as opposed to scrolling through records? Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Can the mouse wheel be re-programmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBrill Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. I can't see any way to do it through the wought windows control panel. I thought there might be a way through FM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Delfs Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Click the wheel, move the mouse works Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBrill Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 That's working in Word and Excel, but not in FM. Weird. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Are you using the InteliMouse driver software from the CD that came with the mouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBrill Posted January 7, 2004 Author Share Posted January 7, 2004 What? That would be like following directions! I bought the mouse, plugged it in, and it worked. Why bother with more drivers? But on your suggestion I dug out the disk and installed the software. I messed around with the settings a bit, and bingo, it works. Now the wheel moves up and down the layout, shift-wheel moves through records, and ctrl-wheel zooms (which did work before). Thanks, Vaughn.

Newbies bzzi Posted February 8, 2004 Newbies Share Posted February 8, 2004 Hi, there is also another solution. Usually I have a list of all/filtered records in layout. When I click a detail button on my list layout I find only one corresponding record in detail layout. If there is only one record in a found set the mouse wheel scrolls the layout, not through the records. Of course, problem is that the user can't view another record. He has to go back to list layout. Another thing is, you have to exclude detail layout from the status area layout list, because user must press a button to force a find script. Setting up mouse driver might be a best way, but how will you force users to do it on their computers? ... bzzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eJK Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Hey DanBrill - Can you please give a little more detail on how you tweaked the mouse wheel settings? I'm having the same issue, so I installed the MS Intellipoint drivers, but the mouse wheel still scrolls through records instead of up and down the layout. Thanks!

Ron F Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I loaded that Logitech mouse driver tfrom the Logitech.com site. Al you need is the basic scroll mouse software. Once you load it you can set it so that the wheel (when pressed) envokes the shift key. That allows you to toggle back and forth between scanning thru records or scrolling your layout.

Ron F Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Also if you just hold down your shift key and scroll your mouse wheel it will have the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
