Mouse wheel scrolling : need to understand something [message #442162]

Hello,

I would like to understand something about mouse wheel scrolling and
SWT/JFace components.

In any *Viewer, mouse wheel scrolling is available. And when I construct
a ScrolledComposite, nothing happens.

So, is there a high-level component such as ScrolledComposite that could
provide me mouse wheel scrolling ?

Thank you

Damien

setFocus() in a Scrollable. It only listens to the wheel when it
contains focus. You can't listen for the events directly, and there is
no support for the forward/back buttons on many mice. Mouse support in
SWT is somewhat brain damaged.
