Hover and Scroll

Question

I used to have an app that would scroll the window your mouse was hovering over instead of scrolling the active window. Unfortunately I lost that app. Does anyone know what that app is called?

Answer 1

I use AutoHotKey for this:

EasyWheel(d)
; if _WHEELAUTOFOCUS if set, check which window is under the mouse and gives it focus if it hasn't already
; then send scroll event to the control under the mouse
; original code from Shimanov: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6772#54821
{
Global _WHEELACC
   , _WHEELMAXN
   , _WHEELAUTOFOCUS
Static t, s


   if ( A_TickCount > 500+t) {
      t := A_TickCount
      s :=0x780000
   }
   else if (s < _WHEELMAXN)
      s += _WHEELACC

   MouseGetPos x, y, hwnd
   h := DllCall("WindowFromPoint", "int", x, "int", y)
   if _WHEELAUTOFOCUS && (hwnd<>WinExist("A"))
      WinActivate, ahk_id %hwnd%
     testan:=WinActive("A")
    if (testan<>hwnd){
    	SendMessage, 0x20A, d*s,(y<<16)|x,, ahk_id %h%
    	}
    	else if (d=-1){
    	send {WheelDown}
    	}else{
    	send {WheelUp}
    	}
}


WheelUp:: EasyWheel(1)
WheelDown:: EasyWheel(-1)

Answer 2

katmouse works well - small and easy to enable or disable from the system trayp

Answer 3

There’s a few that can do that, but TweakUI for sure has that option (Mouse->X-Mouse).

Answer 4

I use WizMouse. Works in Vista and 7.

Answer 5

XMouse Toggle is a stand alone utility to do this on XP, Vista, 7 both 32 and 64 bit.
