9.6.5 Wheel

Mouse wheel events can also be transmitted. Mouse wheel events can either

be Forward (away from you) or Backward (towards you).

You can also specify variables for the amount wheel motion. Use a positive

number for moving forward, and a negative number for moving backward.

The wheel “ticks” are 1/10

of a wheel “click”, so specifying 10 will emulate

moving the mouse wheel one “click” forward (away from you).

Moreover, you can emulate a second wheel, which usually maps to

horizontal movement: use a positive number for “wheeling” to the right, and

a negative number for the left.

9.6.6 Injected Mouse Events (Windows only)

On Windows, you can inject mouse events directly to a specific application,

similar to injecting keystrokes. For programs with which this works, you can

send mouse events while not moving the real mouse cursor.

Injecting mouse events only works on Windows. It does not

work with every program, however, and you will need to test

with your application of choice.

Injecting mouse events can make your projects much more robust because

it will still work when (accidentally) another program is activated, and you

can control multiple programs with mouse events without the need to switch

the active window.

For injecting mouse events, simply check that option in the Outgoing action,

then click on the Capture button. Moving your mouse will now show a green

rectangle around every recognized window and sub window. Click on the

window or sub window you want to target with the injected mouse event.

Use the Find button to see if the window definition is sufficient to find the

corresponding window.

When injecting mouse events, all X/Y positioning is with

regards to the targeted window! X=0 and Y=0 is therefore the

upper left corner of the target window.

We recommend to always test if the injected mouse event actually works.

Because most of the time, application windows are layered, you may need

to experiment a bit to find the suitable sub window for injecting mouse

events.
