Horizantal Scroll

I just bought a IOGEAR 4D Web Cruiser GME421 mouse. It has a scroll ball to scroll vertically and horizantlly. It works with other applications but does not scroll horizantlly in Labview. So I am wondering if there is a setup I can change somewhere to use the scroll ball to scroll horizantlly in Labview.

Thanks

There is no setting that I have seen that will work for horizonally scrolling mice. I think this might be because if you hover your mouse over the horizontal scroll bar, scrolling on a regular wheel makes it scoll horizontally.

Hi,

The scrollbars (, and all other controls,) are not the scrollbars you see in
other windows applications. So they also do not behave like other windows
scrollbars. In stead of using standard ms controls, labview uses it's own
message handling to control it's own controls. This is beneficial because
it's easier to maintain if ms changes thinks, and to make labview work for
linux and other os's.

So that's why it's not possible (I know you didn't ask for that)...

Regards,

Wiebe.
