MuiWheel 1.2
MUI has got the wheel!

Introduction
------------
MuiWheel is a complex patch to allow some classes
of the Magic User Interface to react correctly
to your mouse wheel movements. It includes
a MuiWheel.mcp class to set up the preferences.
If you don't have a wheeled mouse, this program
will not be useful to you, if you don't
even know what a wheeled mouse is, go
to the LogiTech homepage, i'm sure you
will buy one soon. For more informations
download NewMouse or MouseWheel from Aminet.
Please *READ* this doc before using it.
The following classes will be patched:
- Cycle.mui
- Numeric.mui (Slider.mui, Knob.mui, Numericbutton.mui, ...)
- List.mui
- Prop.mui
- Virtgroup.mui (Scrollgroup.mui)
Copyright
----------
This software is subject to the "Standard Amiga FD-Software Copyright Note"
It is Cardware as defined in paragraph 4c.
If you like it and use it regularly please send a postcard to the author.
For more information please read "AFD-COPYRIGHT" (Version 1 or higher).
Upgrading from version 1.0
--------------------------
Follow the "Installation and Usage" chapter, just remember
that the patch for muimaster.library is NO MORE NEEDED,
so you can copy the original muimaster.library in place.
You should then set the new preferences with the MUI preferences
editor, since you can now enable/disable every single patch.
Oh.. a postcard will be appreciated :-)
Installation and Usage
----------------------
MuWheelPatch needs to be loaded only one time. Anyway,
a check is made, so you can't do anything dangerous if you
run it twice.
To install the patch, simply copy MuiWheelPatch in your C: directory
and add the relative call somewhere
in your s:startup-sequence, but BEFORE any other program
that uses MUI is launched. The standard MUI assignment
section is a good place.
Example:
...somewhere in your startup-sequence...
C:Run <>NIL: C:MuiWheelPatch
or
if exists ......
assign MUI: ......
if exists MUI:Libs
assign add LIBS: MUI:Libs
endif
if exists MUI:Locale
assign add LOCALE: MUI:Locale
endif
version >nil: exec.library 39
if not warn
if exists MUI:Docs
if exists HELP:dummy ; do not remove
endif ; this entry!
assign add HELP: MUI:Docs
endif
endif
C:Run <>NIL: C:MuiWheelPatch ; MUI has got the wheel!
endif
Now go send a postcard to the author :-)
Now you should copy the given MuiWheel.mcp class
to MUI:Libs/mui/
Remember that MuiWheelPatch will not work with versions of
muimaster.library other than 19. As far as i can tell you
the wheel support will be added in the next MUI release.
Obviously you *NEED* a MouseWheel
compatible *mouse* *driver*, such as MouseWheel itself
or NewMouse (strongly raccomended :-) .
You're now ready to run. Reboot your system
and start MUI:MUI to set the preferences.
PLEASE NOTE that due to the particular nature of this
patch, even if the new preferences are updated
on-the-fly, the "Test" gadget in the MUI preferences
does not work.
Future
------
I'm waiting for suggestions...(and postcards too..) :-)
