Windows API: TurnOff MouseWheel?
2002-11-01 -- Jim Kane
Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion
getsystemmetrics can tell you if there is a mouse wheel
systemparametersinfo() can tell you its scroll lines and setting that to
zero disables it.
Control Panel\Microsoft Input Devices\Mouse\Exceptions\
registery key and and some registry programming is much better - it lists
your program as an exception but
doesnt take effect to next boot. so I use a combo of both. if I dont find
the registry key I disable the mouse whichel
the program runs for ALL programs. if I see the registry key then I do
nothing.
After tons of complaints down to none with this approach. MSDN has all the
details as usual.
