Usually, only the window that has the focus will get mouse wheel ticks for
processing. It was requested that AveDesk monitors mouse wheel messages
for AveDesk widgets that haven't got the focus (have been clicked on) to
scroll stickies text etc, when the mouse is over them.

Most mouse wheel aware apps do this by themselves but there is a 3rd party
solution:

People who own a Logitech mouse can have wheel messages sent to any
window under the mouse by installing the mouse drivers provided by logitech
as opposed to the MS provided drivers for logitech mice.
This way, even the code window of VB6 that does not process mouse wheel
messages will get translated scroll messages. The drawback of this approach
is the sheer bloat of the MouseWare on low end systems and the contiguous
presence of an invisible EM_EXEC.exe that permanently hooks all mouse
messages and will, IMHO irritatingly, scroll horizontally if no vertical scroll
is possible. Also I noticed that crashing the explorer will reload EM_EXEC.exe
again and again.

I'd suggest some talented Delphi / C++ coder to adopt the challenge and remedy
this for once and all, by providing a vendor independent implementation of
EM_EXEC.exe, e.g. the ButtonPulser author has proven his capabilities in
hooks...

i thought the horizontal scroll part was default... i have a logitech without their drivers and it does that (in xphome).
An additional drawback with the mouseware drivers are that they are buggy... i can't even use them on my system properly. I haven't tried them in half a year, but the probs i've had in the past with them, i won't try them again anyways.

sounds like a good suggestion.

Me looks at his mouse, sees Logitech logo on it. Yay, I hope it will be solved soon
