One wheel click is defined as WHEEL_DELTA, which is 120. Input.mi.mouseData = (DWORD)scroll //A positive value indicates that the wheel was rotated forward, away from the user a negative value indicates that the wheel was rotated backward, toward the user. Input.mi.time = NULL //Windows will do the timestamp After you unplug the external device, the touchpad will work again. RELATED: Auto-Disable the Touchpad When Connecting a Mouse in Windows 10. LRESULT _stdcall MouseHookCallback(int, WPARAM, LPARAM) In the same window, you can check the box for Disable when external USB pointing device plug in, which will disable the touchpad pad as soon as you connect an external pointing device. When the mouse is automatically scrolling, I can still manually scroll the mouse wheel.Ĭode Sample: (The code is rough, for reference only) #include After pressing the P key to uninstall the hook, everything will be back to normal. Press the right mouse button to stop scrolling. Press the left mouse button and the mouse will scroll automatically.

Press 'P' key => uninstall mouse hook(end)Īfter the hook is installed, the mouse cannot be moved.

Press right mouse button => Stop scrolling.

Press left mouse button => Start scrolling.

Press 'L' key => install mouse hook(start).

I think hook and SendInput can meet your needs.

I've also read a little about the SentInput function, but it also doesn't sound like it could achieve #2, and I'm not sure if it can effect all other programs.

I've read a little about Windows hooks, but it looks like that can only modify existing mouse events, which would not work here.

Under Touchpad, toggle the switch on or off.

Is you device running on Windows Creators Update If yes, follow the steps below to disable touchpad: Go to Settings.

There might be some sort of programmatic virtual mouse library, if so I could use this to generate scroll wheel events, but I haven't found such a library yet, and I'm not sure if it can achieve #2. Precision touchpad is one of the improvements recently brought to Windows 10 to support touch gestures.

I have thought of and looked into a few possible solutions, but none of them seem complete:

Other built-in touchpad gestures should not be effected.ĭoes this need to be implemented as some kind of driver?.

This is important because it will ensure that the UI element that is being scrolled will not change during scrolling.

While the scrolling gesture is in effect, normal mouse movement should be disabled.

Preferably, scrolling should be smooth as well (not in large ticks). This should effect any program that is running, just like real mouse or touchpad scrolling.

My program needs to be able to generate scrolling events, as if by the default touchpad gesture or the mouse scroll wheel.

My question is how to implement the scrolling behavior. I have the code to read the raw touchpad data, and I have a rough idea of how I want to implement the gesture. I'm writing a program to implement chiral scrolling on a touchpad.
