Title: EccoExt -no Scroll Wheel function in Win7 64-bit
Post by ajschmidt on 02/24/10 at 14:46:53

I'm running EccoExt v4.3.0.7 under Windows 7 64-bit, and all of EE's functions seems to work, except for the mouse wheel scrolling. The problem is the same no matter if Microsoft's IntelliPoint v7.0 mouse software is installed or not. I have tried enabling/disabling various combinations of EE's settings for "Extension Option, Enable Global Mouse Wheel" and "EccoExt Option, Enable APP Mouse Wheel" -all with no effect.

Any ideas for how to get EccoExt to make the mouse wheel operate Ecco's vertical scroll bars?

Does the EM Scroller work ?

Yes, I just tried the EM Scroller v3.01B, and it works.
The scrolling was way too fast to control with the default "Slang Mode" setting,
but deselecting that and selecting "Clutch Mode" provides mouse wheel scrolling
that is still too fast, but controllable with a very light touch on the scroll wheel.

Question: Will the Registered version of EM Scroller save the customized
"Clutch Mode" setting, so it can load each day without further interaction?

And, a big question is:
Since apparently it can't provide mouse scrolling for me, is there another major
data integrity/stability reason to keep running the EccoExt program with Ecco Pro?

Thanks.

1. The slang extension *should* be working with scrolling for you. Have you tried running with admin privileges ?

2. The slang extension does a *lot*. If you use recurring dates, slang extension fixes so they work without needing to fix ending dates manually. Plus a lot more. Context free notepad options, etc. etc. Copy/Paste RTF (rich text) to ecco, etc. There is a LOT that the extension does.

3. The commercial version of the EM Scroller allows different startup settings including modification of the scroll wheel factor.
