HI Guys,
Does anyone know how to read wheel movement in BBC BASIC (or SWI)?
I did a little bit of googling but could only find reference to the
WIMP environment.
What I am after is the ability to scroll through the different pages
of tracks (and ctrl+scroll for large jumps).
Cheers in advance.
Michael

the same interface that I defined for Select.
http://select.riscos.com/prm/input/pointerdevices.html#L0013
SYS "OS_Pointer", 2 TO xposition, yposition

Cheers Justin!
I will put this into a library to switch between Select / RO 5
versions.
I have just tested this on my beagleboard XM (RO 5.19) and recieved a
'Parameters not recognised' message (he says, double checking he typed
it correctly)
I need to go to the office to get my Adjust RPC, so will try this on
Tuesday ;@)

OS. As for RO5, if there is a way, it isn't easy to find on the ROOL
website...
Best wishes,
Rick.
