RE: scrolling in frame

["Gil Yaker" <GYaker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Thanks for the responses for this problem. I actually had read the archives
and tried to research a solution. Sure the scroll wheel works
one-line-at-a-time, but come on, if 99% of other windows programs do
"screen-at-a-time," shouldn't Frame be able to do it by now? Maybe someone
figured out a new solution or whatnot. That's what I was fishing for. So for
those who care to read about how things wound up, read on. Otherwise, you
know where the delete key is :)

After uninstalling the MS driver and reinstalling the Logitech driver didn't
change mouse behavior for me, I installed the FreeWheel program. I was
hesitant b/c the last update was in '99 and it seemed like its original
purpose was to enable scroll wheels in Win98/NT4 when that function was new
and not well supported. But hey, what do you know it works. It's a kind of
kludgy solution because it simulates with one wheel click the 24 (or any
number you enter) wheel clicks. Whatever - it works and I'm happy. Thanks
guys!

My theory, if anyone cares, is that Frame grabs the wheel position from some
lower-level mouse event than the control panel. The Logitech driver is able
to intercept the wheel position even lower than Frame does, so it works too.
Maybe Adobe will fix this soon - one would think it's not a hard fix.

Hopefully the googlebots will add my musings to their collections.

Gil, the archives of this and the other list document that at least
17,432 people have expended an average of 6.73 hours each exchanging
pointers to various old versions of MS and Logitech mouse drivers,
installing and reinstalling drivers, trying third-party utilities, and
attempting sundry incantations and small-animal sacrifices in order to get
their scroll wheels working in FrameMaker _at_all_.

Consider yourself lucky. And don't push it. :-)

Happy Easter Weekend!

Richard
