Distinguish wheelmouse from [message #462394]

I want to be able to use the wheelmouse for zooming.

Adding a listener for SWT.MouseWheel type events was easy enough - but the
problem is that rolling the mouseWheel now causes zooming *and* scrolling.

How can the default behavior of the wheelmouse - scrolling - be disabled?

I already have selection listeners on the scroll bars which handle the
actual scrolling; so if there was any way to distinguish between scroll
events originating from clicking of the arrow buttons, and rolling of the
mousewheel, then I could solve the problem.

However, events originating from these actions are identical in every way.
In particular Event.detail == SWT.ARROW_DOWN or SWT.ARROW_UP for both
cases.

Is there any way to tell them apart?

Thanks

Try setting doit=false in the event.
