[Bug 18320] New: Approach: need flywheel (scroll wheel) or similar support
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18320 Summary: Approach: need flywheel (scroll wheel) or similar support Product: Wine Version: 1.1.20 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: ToddAndMargo(a)verizon.net Hi All, Oh now this is truly a pain in the neck (why the P2 priority). Lotus Approach does not have scroll wheel support. In XP, you can load a utility called "Flywheel" that will give you back your scroll wheel. Problem: flywheel does not work in Wine. Would you please enhance the mouse drives in Wine to support a function similar to Flywheel to allow Approach to use the scroll wheel? Or, fix Wine to use Flywheel? Many thanks, -T Flywheel is "Abandonware" and is free. The author had a page stating so several years ago but has taken it down since.

Is there any chance of getting this looked at in 1.1.34? This one is a real pain in the neck! Can you add FlyWheel support without the Flywheel? -T -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Hi Austin, This affects all of the Smart Suite programs. and I suspect all older Windows programs. I would love it if you could get Flywheel to work or emulate its actions some other way. I really do hope you guys decide to do this. It would go a long, long way to making Wine friendly to use with Smart Suite Many thanks, -T -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I really can not tell. Would you down load and check it out for me? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I tried and it comes much further then expected. After installing Approach scrolls correctly. There is a drawback though: I cannot enter the registration code in flywheel, all its windows are totally unresponsive and I cannot dismiss them. The alternative fix might be to get this tool working properly. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Hi Rein, I had to "ps" and "kill" when I got to the registration process. And, some things scroll and some things do not in Wine Approach; they do scroll perfectly (Approach and Flywheel) in Virtual XP. I would love it if you got this utility to work correctly in Wine. Or, emulate what Flywheel does.
