Mouse wheel not zooming Network View

[PeanutMocha]

Just installed the latest TG2 free on Windows 7 64-bit and ran into an issue that the mouse wheel is not zooming (in/out) the Network View.  Do I recall correctly that it's supposed to?  Is this a known issue?

Thanks!

There is a preferences menu in the Help menu. Try changing the mouse settings there. If you are using a Logitech mouse the mouse settings can be changed using Logitech's mouse preferences.

The mouse settings are correctly set to use the wheel.  The problem is that the wheel has no effect.  The wheel does work in every other application.

Try different settings anyway. When I changed to the Logitech mouse, I had mouse wheel problems with Blender and Terragen 2. When I changed the settings it worked correctly.

[PeanutMocha]

No luck, tried playing around with Windows mouse setting and the bindings in Terragen.  I did set an additional binding to zoom in/out with they keyboard, so at least that partially solves the problem.  Would be nice to have the wheel though.

Did you try to uninstall the mouse real drivers and install some generic windows driver or other ones that would give you nearly the same settings?
Of course if there is such a option for your mouse!

Edit: Sometimes they have little programs that are making life not so easy as they are claiming. Uninstall if you have them and see if that is the problem .
       The best place could be to look at the forums of your mouse vendor for help . Maybe there are newer drivers etc.

I think I ended up disabling the Logitech mouse driver. The Windows driver should work normally. It was some time ago, sorry.

Can you tell us the brand of the mouse? Does it use any special drivers? I've never seen this problem before, across multiple systems and mouse types (including laptop touch pads), so we'll need more info to see if we can track down the issue.

Hi,

Just something I thought I would mention, but the network view needs to be focused (i.e. you need to have clicked on it) before the mouse wheel scrolling will work.

Regards,

Jo

The mouse is a Microsoft Optical Wireless Mouse 2.0A with no special drivers installed.  I just plugged it into my Windows 7 64-bit PC as delivered directly from HP.

I did click the Network View first before trying to scroll and see it's focused because a dashed line is drawn just inside the window.

Note: I just tried with the touchpad on the laptop as well, with the same result.

The touchpad lets me simulate the mouse wheel by moving my finger up and down along the right-hand edge.  I tried it out in a browser to ensure it's working correctly in general, then tried it in the Network View.  A graphic is overlaid (by the operating system or mouse driver, not sure) indicating that scroll wheel mode is active, but no scrolling happens.

Do you have another system to test TG2 (and the same mouse) on? Does the touch pad have a specific driver? What if *remove* the custom bindings for mouse wheel/zoom?

- Oshyan

[PeanutMocha]

No, I just have the one system right now.

The touchpad says it's a Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad driver.  The mouse just says it's a HID-compliant mouse.

Removing the mousewheel bindings did not change anything.

[Oshyan]

Well, unfortunately we can't reproduce the problem here so there's not much more we can do at this point. If you find any additional information on the issue please update this thread so we can do further troubleshooting.

Just checking, are you holding down the "alt" key whilst mouse zooming in the network view?
