MouseWheel: Click it to switch to live-mode

Post by ikarus1969 »

Hi Pavel,

a suggestion for the mouse-wheel feature: when scrolling back and forth through the day(s), what about going back to live-mode by clicking the wheel?

So you don't have to release the mouse and move your hand to the "Enter"-key.

Hello Reinhart,
you are a perfectionist :D
But not every mouse has a wheel with a klick-function and/or most people don't know or using this function.
Usually you can programm the mouse wheel klick free and so it is possible to set it for "enter"... I did it!

What can we do with the right/left function of my mouse :?: :(
Do you have any idea? ;)

Of course!

The possibilities are (almost) endless:

we could use left/right button to cycle through the locations.
If both buttons are clicked at the same time, the home-location could be selected.
:D

Hi Reinhart,

What would you do for those of us that enjoy our laptops and just have mousepads?

OK, I was thinking about this issue a lot before introduction of mouse-wheel scrolling :)

The Right mouse button clicks are not available in Flash, unfortunately (popup menu is opened for the right click).

However, middle button click is a good solution except...
It will not be available in the online edition.
There is no middle button on my trackpad (I do not use the mouse)

Technical details.
There is no API in Flash to handle middle mouse button.
I will be using native calls from C++

Anyway, I will try to make YoWindow go to live mode with middle mouse button click.

Reinhart thanks for reminding me about this.
Get YoWindow weather app for your phone or tablet.

I don't know right now.

At home i'm using a laptop too.
Without a mouse attached i use the pad and so i can't use the "mouse-wheel"-feature at all .
So the question of how to use "mouse-wheel-click" does not exist (for me) when using a laptop.

Hi Laptofans ;)
what do you think about a double klick on the mouse pad?
