.net - Make Mouse Tilt Horizontal Scrolling Always Repeat?
Jun 12, 2012
I'm designing a form with a horizontal scroll bar docked at the bottom. I wanted to add support for side-scrolling using mouse tilt buttons and found this solution which, after a bit of tinkering, seemed to do the trick - that is, while the form only had GDI graphics drawn on its surface.
However, since then I've added some controls to the form and found that when the mouse is over any of them the tilt operation only fires once-at-a-time instead of repeatedly as it does when the mouse is over any other part of the form.To see what I mean (if you have a mouse with tilt buttons) dock a horizontal scrollbar onto the bottom of a form, add a few other controls and paste in this code:
Public Class Form1
Const WM_MOUSEHWHEEL As Integer = &H20E
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)
[code]....
You'll see that side-scrolling repeats when the mouse is over a blank part of the form, but only "one-shots" when it's over a control.I'm guessing the solution lies somewhere in the message's .Result value, but I'm at a loss as to what that should be. In fact I'm not even sure I'm returning a correct value anyway because the code in the original solution threw an exception to the DirectCast function so I swapped that for CType, which seemed to work okay. I've tried working it out using Spy++ but I can't see anything obvious.
UPDATE:I've noticed when I include 'Child' windows in Spy++ there are two (0x020E) messages and two return values, 1 then 0. I presume the message is being passed onto the control by the form. So I guess the question now is: can the message be prevented from being passed to the control? Or can the control's return value be intercepted and converted to 1?

The use of shift + scroll wheel is fairly common for horizontal scrolling.
Both of those are fairly easy to capture. I can use the MouseWheel event with a flag set by the KeyDown, KeyUp events to keep track of when the shift key is pressed.
However, how do I actually trigger the horizontal scrolling? I am aware of WM_MOUSEHWHEEL, can that be used to trigger the event?
Update: For a System.Windows.Form there is a HorizontalScroll property that is of type HScrollProperties. You can manipulate the Value attribute on that object to change the horizontal scrollbar's position. However, so far I haven't spotted any other controls on which that object is available.

To detect rotation of the mouse wheel in .NET/WinForms, I can override OnMouseWheel. Clicking can be detected by overriding OnMouseDown (it's just the Middle button). But how do I detect tilting of the wheel (tilt to the left/right for horizontal scrolling)? Neither OnMouseWheel, not OnMouseDown is being called when I tilt the mouse wheel.

I have a DataGridView with, say, a half dozen columns on it; the right-most column being the widest (a description that might exceed the window's width). If the user presses the Home/End or PgUp/PgDn keys to navigate thru the data, it will sometimes scroll horizontally to the right, which is annoying. Is there a way to prevent this?
I've tried .ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical(so there's no horiz scrollbar), but that doesn't solve the problem. I'm not sure how to make the 1st column be always visible - but even if I make it visible upon displaying the grid.I guess basically I don't WANT it to scroll horizontally, except when the USER scrolls.

I'm trying to make a mastermind game program with visual basic. I started of creating the combination maker for the start of the game. Hoever, in my version i don't want any colors to repeat. I used the random function independently to get numbers from 1 to 6. Each number has a corresponding color. The problem, the values still repeat sometimes.
Here's my code for that part:
Randomize
a = Fix(Rnd * 6) + 1
txtA = a
If a = 1 Then

I am using report.rdlc components in my application. I have one report where I have a tablix table embedded in a tablix list. The top of the list above the table contains all the group variables, eg customer name, customer address; the table contains the details, eg order details. I need to display the customer information again when there are too many order details to display on one page and I also need to display the order detail column headings again on the new page. So far I have played around with the Tablix properties and the Static row properties but no matter what I have tried I cannot get the headings to repeat.

How do I (programmatically) find out the key repeat delay and key repeat rate for a system?
A solution that works on any/all .Net capable platforms would be ideal, but the key target OSes would be XP, Vista, and 7.

I have a tab control with two tab pages. One page has the auto scroll enabled since there is to much content in the page. The middle mouse wheel doesn't scroll the scroll bar; I have to actually click and hold the scroll bar and drag it down to scroll. Is there a property to allow this?

I'm making a Shooter game like "1943" and "Jamestown". I was wondering how I would make the scrolling background to simulate moving forward and How would I make this efficient? I was thinking about using a animated GIF or to make a looping BitMap.

After scouring the articles online I have come up with this design for a winforms based touchscreen app that needs smartphone like scrolling. The app itself will run on a tablet laptop or touchscreen desktop.I put everything I want to scroll on a panel. Set autoscroll to true (which will show scrollbars)Now put this whole panel inside a groupbox.Shrink the groupbox until the scrollbars are hidden (visually hidden, not visible = false)
Now the fun part I am stuck at.I think I have to handle the mousedown, mouseup & mousemove on the panel to set the autoscrollposition so that when someone touches the panel and drags, it does it's scroll magic. Please help fill in the few lines of code in below method stubs. The msdn doc on autoscrollposition is very confusing since it returns negative numbers but needs to be set to positive with abs and what not.

Point mouseUpPoint;
Point mouseDragPoint;[code]......

I'm attempting to make a scrolling text label at the bottom of a form. It is the type of scroll you can see on the weather station when there is a tornado warning out. I was wondering if someone could help me go about doing it?
Basically, I am trying to have a label, which scrolls smoothly. The scroll text will be the contents of a string variable. I was also wondering if it would be possible to have the entire scroll "disappear" as the end of it scrolls onto the left side of the screen, then it pauses for a moment, and starts the scroll again, playing an alert tone each time.
