[mcclim-devel] mouse wheel gesture?

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

 thanks to your help, the first prototype of the apps behaviour is
surfacing and clim's mechanisms are getting less and less obscure.

I couldn't find documentation, whether mouse wheel movement is
implemented as gesture in mcclim. In my app this would be very useful,
but I could imagine, clim was invented long before mousewheels
appeared.

On a related topic I tried to define a keystroke to invoke a command
if the mouse is over a presentation. This didn't seem to work directly
(via define gesture-name and
define-presentation-to-command-translator). I resorted to defining a
global variable in the application frame to hold a highlighted
presentation (or nil if nothing is highlighted) and use this as
reference for a command invoked by a keystroke. To me this seems to be
rather a workaround than a solution. In case I'm missing something I'd
be grateful for comments.

Nice holidays to all of you,
Orm
