Hello All:

I would like to disable scrolling through records by using a scroll
wheel on a mouse.

Is this possible?

I could not find a reference to this in the help files.

Thanks,

Sam

You would probably have more luck doing this through the windows driver
for the mouse under control panel.

FileMaker is not a programming language, so it can not directly access
individual items of hardware (mouse fiunctions, changing printers,
etc.). These sorts of functions are via the Operating System and so
don't appear in FileMaker's Help files at all.

That means what you want can't be done, unless someone has created a
plug-in or there's an OS function that can be changed via AppleScript
(or whatever the Windows equivalent is).

Actually it can be done easily and simply within filemaker:

Hide and *lock* the status area.

That disables all the hotkeys, and 'mouse-actions' that advance/retreat 
records.
