Borland C++ 5.01/5.02 came before the wheeled mouse started to be widely used and the WinAPI provided support for the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message. For this reason the mouse wheel cannot be used to scroll the text in the editor windows of BC++ 5.0x IDE The solution is to get a driver which will process the WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages, transform them to WM_VSCROLL and pass them to the application. One such driver is created by Matt Pietrek and can be found here. Simply download Hood0697.exe, and run the file to extract it a folder like C:\Tools\MW. From this folder start MW.exe. It loads and shows in the system tray. Double-click the icon and the window with selected applications will appear: 
Probably no applications are listed, so click on the Add program button, then browse for the location of Borland C++ 5.0x IDE - BCW.EXE 
Close the dialog, make sure that the line for BCW.EXE is added, and restart the driver. 
If you want this driver to be started with Windows, you will have to manualy add a shortcut for MW.exe in the Startup folder of the Start menu. |
