Mousewheel for the Grid?

Hi,

I can use my mousewheel to scroll up and down in a TreeCtrl and
GenericDirCtrl, but not a Grid. Would this be considered a "flaw"?
Should it be reported to the wxWindows project or what?

On win ME, python 2.2.2, wxPy 2.4.0.7 the mousewheel works on the grid.

Chris.

Thanks. That's good enough for me since that's the platform I'll
eventually deploy on. (I'm currently developing on Linux.)

MouseWheel support can be tricky on X. You may get specific mouse events for it, or it may be translated to scroll events, or you may get nothing. AFAICT, it depends on the X server config, the type of window, who has the focus, the location of the mouse and the phase of the moon.

My guess on the wxGrid is that it is not doing it because the various visible parts of the window are actually subwindows of the scrolled window, not the scrolled window itself, so X is sending the mouse/scroll events to the wrong window. If you hold the mouse over the scroll bar and roll the wheel then you'll probably get results.
