how can i test if the wheel move was negative or positive?
i belive these detect the mouse position:
xPos = GET_X_LPARAM(lParam);
yPos = GET_Y_LPARAM(lParam);
but how can i test if any key(like alt\control\shift) was pressed?
(i'm talking in same message)
thanks for all
i have read better and i found the answer here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms645614%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
the 'The high-order word' is the HIWORD() function?
the 'The low-order word' is the LOWORD() function?
Did you read the article I posted? Or did you just dismiss it because it had too many words?
ok.. i was seen better: is that Visual C++?
The example code is MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class), which is VC++ c++ class. But the explanation about the mousewheel would apply to any compiler that uses win32 api functions.
I use this to find out direction and amount of mousewheel movement.
// This ikWheelDelta will be a number like +1 or -2
const int ikWheelDelta = GET_WHEEL_DELTA_WPARAM(pMsg->wParam)/WHEEL_DELTA ;
This is called in PreTranslateMessage for your window.
owenransen thanks but read these:
"wParam
The high-order word indicates the distance the wheel is rotated, expressed in multiples or factors of WHEEL_DELTA, which is set to 120. A positive value indicates that the wheel was rotated to the right; a negative value indicates that the wheel was rotated to the left.
The low-order word indicates whether various virtual keys are down. This parameter can be one or more of the following values."
like you see theres another way ;)
but thanks for all
