1. OT-ish: New Keyboard (MEditor mousewheel)

This morning, my keyboard fused, so I nipped down the high street and purchased a cheapo replacement - and found one which happened to have a little mousewheel on it... (By pure chance; the =A34.99 model was just way too tatty, even for me). Unfortunately, it was the last in stock so I had to take the display model: no CD. The model in question is a btc 8191, google shows me several hits but for some reason I cannot seem to access any of the files, I get stuck with some chinese character set not being downloadable, then points me at Windows Update, which is a crock. Anyone wanting me to have a bash at getting the mousewheel to work in MEditor, or anyone just generally wishing to be helpful, care to help me locate a driver?

Pete, Dont make a big deal out of a little thing Interfacing the mouse wheel is one of the simplest possible chores. Have your message map trap WM_MOUSEWHEEL and have the code call your single line scroll routine in the direction according to the direction you detect with the wparam argument. If you wish to give your user a setting for the number of lines to scroll, simply look that value up and scroll that many lines. One of the easiest things you'll ever have to do I think on my editor i call KeyDown the number of times required. You may have to use a routine id of course. Probably wont even have to test it, but once done, pop it in the email and i'll run it the next day and let you know. Take care, Al And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!

But if it's some kind of funky keyboard that needs a special driver, then you'll never get a WM_MOUSEWHEEL message... I think he's looking for that driver. -- Brian

Oddly, if I click on the above link, and cancel the font download popup (it was not ignoring that which led to windows update), all I get is a blank screen. Eventually, and largely by accident, I found that if I load any other page and then key Alt-left to go back, suddenly the page appears fine. Wierd. I repeated that about six times & got the same every time. Anyway, I've managed to install the driver now, thanks. Pete

That has been in MEditor for well over a year, albeit bugridden. It was the driver, which I now have, hopefully I'll manage to fix this sometime this afternoon. Pete
