JSI Tip 9751. Wheeler is a free program that enhances the behavior of your mouse wheel.

In addition to scrolling the window under the cursor when you roll the mouse wheel, it's possible to move the keyboard focus to that window, which is what Intellipoint used to do, and which programs similar to Wheeler tend not to support.

Through the concept of wheelability, you can control how wheel messages are processed on a per window class basis. Scoped window classes allow you to associate window class names with the specific programs that define them, so you don't have to worry about affecting other programs that may unwittingly use the same window class names. Creation of Window Class Rules is easily accomplished by using the Wheeler Configuration program.

You can translate wheel messages into scrollbar messages, which can improve the behavior of a number of window classes, including the Windows Richedit and Outlook 2003 Supergrid.

You can exclude entire programs from the Wheeler treatment.
