How do you increase the mouse scroll wheel rate/increment in a ScrolledComposite? [message #453321]

Hi,

I have a ScrolledComposite panel with child controls. When I use the scroll
wheel of my mouse to scroll the panel, the scroll rate is very slow with
only small increments being scrolled. Is there any way to speed things up
by increasing the increment?

Thanks.

Phil

I'd use ScrollBar#setIncrement(int) like this:

private ScrollBar vBar = getVerticalBar();
// Speed up scrolling when using a wheel mouse
vBar.setIncrement(10);

Choose other values instead of 10 that better suit your needs.

HTH,
Christian
