Agreed, most things support horizontal scrolling via the mouse these days. I believe MediaMonkey has commented that it was a significant amount of work to do for v4, but that they intended to have this in v5. I seem to remember that at least.

Browser, productivity software (spreadsheets, word processing, etc), notepad, other applications that have a horizontal scroll bar. For some reason, within MM using the tilt scroll mouse wheel doesn't work. We have to use the Shift key in addition to the regular scrolling option of the mouse button to scroll horizontally.

What other apps? For me MMW acts like in any other app.

Are you referring that scroll Work if mouse over Horizontal Scroll?

I was just about to make a new post before I saw this, lol. I saw a thread that suggests Shift + Scroll, which actually does horizontal scroll. Still, I'd like to be able to do it just like I do in any other application.

Good to hear! Now just the question of when is MM5!? You've got me excited!

Thanks for sharing, Jiri !!!

Right, this should be fixed in MM5...

It probably hasn't been seriously looked at since 2011. Though, it would be nice to find it as a surprise/hush feature in MM5.

Any update as to whether Horizontal mouse scrolling will be added in the future?

Thanks for the link Lowlander. However, even after reading the Notes on the issue, I still think it's because the WM_MOUSEHWHEEL message isn't being handled properly. The fact that it works in so many other applications (but not MM and some others) is the clue.

Issue was discussed here: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=2653

Note for developers: It'd be a good idea to forward messages (WM_MOUSEWHEEL, WM_MOUSEHWHEEL) from the Hint Window to it's Parent Window. This way when the hint window is displayed, vertical and horizontal scrolling will work from mouse wheel/tilt or track pad mouse gestures.

Thanks for all your great work!

I've never cared about this...until now. When using a netbook with a small screen, there's a LOT of scrolling to do. Vertical scrolling is a breeze, 2 fingers on the touch pad and there it goes. The same 2 fingers moving horizontally does scroll in some applications, but not Mediamonkey.

Developers: WM_MOUSEHWHEEL (as opposed to WM_MOUSEWHEEL)

Hi there, I have a tilt mouse and I can confirm horizontal scrolling with tilt does not work. A lot of applications don't support this so it doesn't really bother me but it would cool to have it if it could be implemented.

Haha, I figured as much. You should invest in one! :)
