Description
Installs a script trigger for mouse wheel.If you like to have a script triggered to switch records on Windows with mouse wheel, you can use this function.
The script parameter is the delta on mouse wheel usage. 120 is one tick down and negative value means movement up.
The script is called at most once every second (by default).
Turn off by calling again with empty script name. This setting is global, so you may just install once in start script.
Add option to ignore a rectangle for plugin version 7.1.
Implemented for Mac and FileMaker 16 or newer with MBS Plugin 9.1.
With plugin version 6.0 or newer the script name can be a script ID number. In that case the plugin queries the script name for the given script ID. This allows to call scripts by ID and avoid problems if scripts are later renamed.
Examples
Installs trigger:
MBS("FM.MouseWheelScriptTrigger"; Get(FileName); "MouseTrigger")
Sample MouseTrigger script to move between records:
If [Get ( ActiveFieldName ) = ""]
Set Variable [$r; Value:Round(Get(ScriptParameter) / 120; 0)]
Go to Record/Request/Page [No dialog; Get ( RecordNumber ) + $r]
// Set Variable [$r; Value:MBS("Log"; "MouseWheel " & $r)]
End If
