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.
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?
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?
The GetAsyncKeyState Api does'nt recognizes the mouse wheel rotation, I see.Is there way to control the mouse wheel rotation (always, not only when the pointer is over a form of mine) with a simple API, without to Hook the mouse?
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.
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 want my combobox to work like the one in Internet Explorer Address Bar,which does not move on move wheel move and the up and down arrow keys. I tried this code but it didn't help.Private Sub ComboBox1_MouseWheel(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.MouseWheel RemoveHandler ComboBox1.MouseWheel, AddressOf ComboBox1_MouseWheel End Sub
how to capture the mouse wheel if the mouse is directly over my control - regardless of what form / control has focus?? - however if another window or control is over the control at the time it won't scroll.
I have one form that display records and I use BindingNavigator to navigate trough the record. I want use also the wheel mouse to go up and down to the record, it's possible do this?
Does anyone know of a way to disable the mouse scroll wheel when a control such as a ombobox or listbox has focus? For my purposes, combobox is all I need the answer for.I have a combobox set to trigger a SQL query on SelectedIndexChanged, and accidentally scrolling the wheel while the combobox has focus causes about six SQL queries to fire off simultaneously.
i have use one mdi form and with in i have call form1. in mdi there is menu and text box.when i run program the mouse wheel work in form1. but when i click on text box after it only mouse wheel not work on form1.
I have a multi-line text box with hundreds of lines. I would like to be able to scroll up or down in the list using the mousewheel (much like using the pgup/pgdown keys). I think I need to use the .mousewheel event, but I'm not sure how to implement this. Is that supported out of the box, or do I need to hook the mouse?
I have an unbound datagridview, where column #3 is a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn which is filled with some values for the user to choose.
Problem: mouse wheel.Users usually use the mouse wheel to scroll the datagridview. That is fine.However, if the focus is on a ComboboxCell, the wheel will not do the intended function (scrolling the grid), but will scroll the combo and change the cell value. I am having lots of accidental changes because of that.
- Disable the wheel, if focus is ON DataGridViewComboBoxColumn ?
I was getting some slightly unusual behavior when using the mouse wheel for some zooming/scaling work (only vaguely related to the earlier thread, for those who remember it). Frankly, it is likely that I have a bug in some code, but that wasn't quite enough to explain what I was seeing. Therefore, I used a error logging feature in my app to note the delta being passed in each Mouse Wheel event. I then ran the app and gave the wheel one good spin, which was about the maximum that I would normally ever spin the wheel in one steady, continuous motion. I wasn't going slow, I wasn't going fast, and I rotated it about as much as my finger comfortably could in a single roll.[code]I then rolled it back the other way using the same motion, and got 8 events, mostly under 200, but one of them was -331 and the other was -7940.
After a handful of tests, it appears that the wheel event is raised often, which is no surprise, but that the values fluctuate all over the place. With a continuous rotation, or as nearly continuous as I can make it, I can see a series of events with one of them easily being ten times the rest.The problem this presents is that the scaling I am using is not smooth (nor is it standard mathematical scaling, but that's a different story). Each zoom level doubles the size of the objects relative to the previous level, though the distance between them stays the same. I would like to do this by dividing the delta by some factor, and if that is above a threshold, increase the zoom level. That won't work smoothly, in this case. If I make the factor something small enough that I pick up a small rotation, then any larger rotation is likely to include a delta that takes the screen through all zoom levels in a single step. Alternatively, if I make the factor large, then all smaller rotations are simply ignored.One option would be to filter out rotation values below 200 and above 800, or so. I am looking for other alternatives.
The code given below works fine. The only problem is mouse wheel/keyup cannot be used after the TOP image is displayed, it fills the keyboard buffer. Then I have to wait awhile to use wheel/keydown. Also the images after wheel/keydown goes beyond last image. It should stop at the last image like it stops at the first image. Code courtesy of Geek On Demand.
My application uses a trackbar to sort images.It works best if the mouse wheel scroll lines value is one.I can advise my users to set the value themselves in the control panel having determined it is three, but I cant set a users scroll value to one for them.I would like to have some visual basic code in the form load that sets the scroll line value to one.
If I have a winform, may I know how can I control the zoom level of the font in theapplication (as well as the application window itself obviously) by using Ctrl + Mouse Scroll Wheel? I see there is a Delta in the Scroll Wheel event, but not sure how that works.Is there any code sample that I can look into?
I want to make an auto log off feature, I want to detect if there is any user input, and if there isn't the user will be automatically logged off. So I want to know how to detect mouse wheel events when the form doesn't have focus.
I made an application where i used mouse scrool event. On my PC everyting work excellent, but when I try it on different machine scrolling is not detected!? How is that possible?i am using e.delta < 0 and e.delta > 0
In my keydown event handler, when Keys.Numpad4 is pressed with Shift, I get the same keycode code as for Keys.Right. Is this by design? How can I distinguish between the two?
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 mouseDownPoint; Point mouseUpPoint; Point mouseDragPoint;[code]......
I currently have a label scrolling text, But for some reason it only displays Certain song titles/text. Does Anyone know why?!
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
I have two custom action listers. One that handles Mouse.Click and one that handles Mouse.MouseDown. My question to you is, can I delay the mouse down event so that it does not intefere with the code of the Mouse.Click event? I have tried adding a timer and waiting x amount then setting a bool value to true, but the code executes to fast and it skips the other code.
I have a form in VB.Net with Autoscroll enabled and several ComboBoxes within it. When I click on a ComboBox, I can use the mouse wheel to scroll through options, but I cannot deselect the ComboBox (by clicking off it on a blank portion of the parent form) in order to return to scrolling the parent form. This makes navigation in the form annoying, as I instinctively click off the control and flip the scroll wheel, causing the ComboBox to change selections instead of moving the parent form.
Is there a way to make this work in the intuitive way I expect it to, or do I have some conceptual confusion that makes this the wrong question to ask?
