Scrolling text in lisp ide
« on: August 29, 2013, 02:39:55 AM »
hi,

Does anyone know of a way to use the mousewheel to scroll the text in a "visual" lisp editor window?

Yep.
Just click in the window so it has focus and scroll away to your hearts content.

Do you perhaps mean horizontal scroll? If so it doesn't work in VLIDE. some programs allow horizontal scroll if you hold down Shift or Ctrl - but not VLIDE, you have to drag the scroll-bar.

Yes, the editor is going on a decade old now .. hardly cutting edge technology.

Actually I think it's older than that. It was available since at least ACad 2000 (R15, perhaps even earlier in R14 - can't remember)  :wink:

Yes , it is older. Release 14.1 was in 97 or 98 I think ... so that's 15 years.
I was using the VitalLisp API from Basis before AutoDesk bought the product ... AutoDesk gave me a discount because I had a current license for VitalLisp ... not often they forgo upgrade fees :)

 I think Michael (MP) was using the early version as well. <  old memory >

Well, it's some time ago now that I did something in lisp.
As far as I knew, you could scroll vertically using the mouse.
But this morning, when I started up the ide, it just didn't and it still doesn't.
I'm using AutoCAD 2010. And a microsoft mouse.
In all other programs everything's fine.
Trouble again...

Ok lads,
Problem solved.
Removed the microsoft vermin and plugged in my old logitech mouse.
Scrolling to my heart's content.
Microsoft mouse and keyboard will now be moved to the bin.
Thanks for the replies.

Did you have to install some driver for the Ms mouse? At work I've got one of those cheapy Ms Wheel Mouses, they "don't need no stinking driver" and works perfectly. I've previously had some issues with "some" Logitech mouses (if you installed their drivers), but if you left them be they worked fine. Though I've not seen this issue with MS mouses before.

At home I have another cheapy Logitech for my laptop, and for my Desktop a Razr Mamba. Neither needs any drivers and both work like a charm.

I've heard of people having problems with the MS Intellimouse (?) driver.  Personally I've never had much of a problem with the Logitech SetPoint software, aside from the *##*$ wireless keyboard that came with the MX1000 mouse.

To irneb and dgorsman

No, I didn't have to install a driver.
In fact, the mouse was part of a microsoft keyboard+mouse set (usb).
But I was  not using the keyboard, only the mouse.
As I mentioned, they both work fine with all other software I have.
The mousewheel also works as expected in the drawing editor.
The only problem was the editor windows in the lips ide.
Never mind, case solved.
