Hello,

I'm using a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical, the latest Intellipoint driver, and Vista with VS2005. I find I can only scroll a pane using the mouse wheel if I first click inside the pane. This is really frustrating, as I then often activate a link in clicking in the pane, or find I'm scrolling somewhere else if I just move the mouse.

Is there any way of setting things so the mouse wheel will scroll whichever pane the mouse pointer is sitting over?

Thanks for any suggestions

John

I found a piece of software called KatMouse http://www.code-scout.net/katmouse/ that seems to do the job very well. And it's only 300kb ! Well done Eduard Hiti.

Hello Figo,

Thanks for the comments. I had been using a Genius optical mouse on my previous XP machine, which did provide all of this functionality automatically, so it felt like a step backwards in usability using the Intellipoint driver, particularly as there are so many multi-pane windows in VS2005. Looks like mybest option is to try and get the Genius mouse to work with Vista. No, as with so many things Vista, that doesn't work.

Incidentally, the Vista User Experience guidelines recommend:
