Wheel Mouse Bug

[Jesper]

I have just upgraded from Win2000 to WinXP, reinstalled all new drivers and ofcause FFXP 2.0b908.

I have a Logitech Cordless Mouseman (5 buttons), wheel is set to be universal scroll.

In local panel, the wheel doesnt work, but it does in remote panel, regardless of which side I use to browse the local or remote.

****EDIT****
It works every where else:
que/transfer window, IE, explorer, etc etc

I have basically the same setup and it works fine for me..

Remember you have to left click in the local window (to make it active) for you to be able to use the scroll wheel..

[Jesper]

yeps I know that I need to activate the window, still doesnt work in local, works everywhere else :(

And it works fine when both windows are remote (FXP mode)

[Shark]

What version of Logitech drivers are you using ?

I recall something simular to this, but cannot recall the end result.. I tried searching the message board and found a few topics, however could not locate the result.

Bigstar, if you read this can you see if you can remember.. I cant.

Version: 9.75 build 302 :)
downloaded and installed 2 days ago.

The local view/ remote view are identical in that they use the same base class that offers the scrolling funtionality.

For one window to scroll and the other one not to is really unusual, I can't think of any explaination for this.

:( thats sad, it just wont scroll locally for me.

I have Mouseware 9.73 and I have the same problem. Just for input, I personally hadn't noticed it until it was brought up since I don't use the mouse to scroll in FlashFXP.

[Shark]

Have you tried it with & without mouseware running ?

Just tried this very moment, same deal, no scroll on the local side :(

[PeNGuiN]

I have the same problem. Tried some different MouseWare drivers but to no avail. I can scroll in normal FTP windows, but in the local 'explorer' style view it doesn't work.

[Jesper]

Any news from the dev side on this?
I really miss it :(

[bigstar]

I'm totally clueless :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Jesper]

Thats NOT what I wanted to hear :D

Im 100% sure that it works with Win2000Pro SP3, Mouseware 9.73 and FFXP 2.0b 906 or 908 (cant remember if I ever had 908 on the W2000 OS).

So its an WinXP issue.

The wheel works everywhere else in XP, just not in FFXP's local window :(

Are you sure you didnt accidently comment scroll*local out? :p

[bigstar]

yup 100% it works fine here with my MS mouse.. also if scrolling was disabled it wouldn't work in the remote window or queue list either.

[Eternity]

Well I've found that it works fine with MouseWare 9.73 if you deactivate MS Office Compatible Scroll. This might cause problems with games however, so use at your own discretion. It's a driver issue I think.

Nope thats not it, I didnt have "Use MS compatible scroll" on, and it didnt help when I enabled it. :(

Also remember that XP/2000 uses the same Logitech driver, that should rule out the possibility that its a driver issue, since it works on win2000 (as mentioned above).

[Eternity]

Sorry to hear that, it works for me and I don't need it. :(
Here's my configuration at the time when it was working:
XP
PowerToys set to scroll 3 lines
MouseWare 9.73 set to 3 lines, NO Office Compatibility



The configuration I normally use (doesn't allow scroll in local window):
XP
MouseWare set to NO SCROLL
PowerToys set to 3 lines
(order matters)

Bigstar can you point me to a version of 1.3 or an early 2.0 to see if I can get the wheel to work in those versions?

[bigstar]

I don't have easy access to previous builds, they are backed up on cd. I would have to unzip each dated archive to determine the build number. I'm not even sure if I have any v1.3. That's quite old.

I did a google search for FlashFXP v1.3 and v1.4 and came up with the following:
v1.3
http://www.fileplanet.com/files/60000/61184.shtml
v1.4
http://fpweb1.fileplanet.com/files/60000/69549.shtml

[Jesper]

Thx :)

I installed and tested both older versions from fileplanet. same friggin non scrolling poop :mad: makes me wonder is XP is scum or Logitech is......:rolleyes:

[MidKnight]

Jesper if you still need an older version, PM me i can help you out. let me know what version and build you want..

[Jesper]

@MidKnight, thx, but I allready tried those 2 from fileplanet and it was the same deal, no scroll, and I know it worked in those 2 with windows2000 :( so XP is just @@$$## ;)

Are you using your mouseman through your PS/2 port? I was having the same problem with not being able to scroll the local panel. I decided not to use the USB -> PS/2 adapter and plugged it directly into my USB hub... scrolling in the local panel is now working. :)

[Jesper]

Yeh Im using the Mouseman USB in the PS/2 port, Most strange that it works directly in the USB port, if you ask me.
(note to this, the mouse has always been in the PS/2 port both on W2000 and XP)


Unforturnally I can switch as my 4 USB ports is in use by other hardware :)

[epp_b]

I have no problems with using my scrollwheel with any of the panes in FlashFXP. Here are my system specs:

-Logitech Cordless Freedom 3-button mouse w/ scrollwheel, using PS/2 port
-Logitech Mouseware Driver v9.41.1
-FlashFXP v2.0 Build 906
-Office Compatible scrolling is disabled

If you need any more specs, just ask :)

[Jesper]

Well could you try and upgrade you mouse driver software to Version: 9.75 build 302 ? (I assume your mouse uses same driver as mine).

Thx, that would help alot in findiing out if its the driver. I havent been able to get Logitech support to let me download an older version.

[epp_b]

Sorry, I don't like the newer Logitech drivers -- I think the lock notifications flashing on the screen in bright yellow is stupid, I like the system tray icons for that. Oh yeah, and the new Logitech drivers give me blue screens :mad:

If you want to try it with older drivers, I could probably upload them somewhere for you to download (PM me on that one, if you want).

[Jesper]

Ok I moved the mouse from the USB->PS/2 Adapter to regular USB, windows found the mouse as "HID-compliant Cordless Mouse" and scroll works just fine now, I wonder what happens if I upgrade the driver to "Logitech Cordless MouseMan Wheel USB"...

Auuughh! If it ain't broke, don't fix it :D

[Jesper]

HAHAHAHA, youre right, I just like that my hardware uses the proper driver/has the proper driver name. :D :D

[epp_b]

Who cares? It works!!!

[LordOfLA]

just to throw my input in here.. I'm using an MS Intellimouse Optical (USB) on 2.0 build 908..

checked local view scrolling with mouse window,no scroll, check remote... scrolls...connection log scrolls...trasnfer queue scrolls too..

this is with stock mouse drivers for winxp not any intellimouse drivers.

Not that it bothers me I hadnt noticed till I read this thread :D
