Does MassLynx support use of the mouse wheel to scroll the sample list? - WKB8557

Article number: 8557

ENVIRONMENT

  • MassLynx 4.1 and 4.2

ANSWER

MassLynx does not support native mouse wheel scrolling.

Scrolling in MassLynx is via Universal scrolling but Microsoft removed the Universal Scrolling option in Windows 7.  


Mouse wheel scrolling is possible in some places MassLynx, but in others it is not possible (even when it works in other applications). This appears to be controlled by an unknown Windows setting. It is not a MassLynx issue and appears to be related to the type and version of mouse driver. Examples include scrolling  down Sample Lists and in TargetLynx results.

One mouse driver that worked recently (2024) with SCN 1043 and Windows 10 is the Lenovo Mouse Suite.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Windows XP could be configured to allow mouse wheel scrolling in MassLynx.
1. The mouse and mouse driver must have scrolling capability.
2. In Windows XP, Universal Scrolling needed to be enabled at Control Panel > Mouse > Wheel.
