Provide horizontal scrolling #19

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open up a page with a horizontal scroll bar
2. Initialize the two finger scroll

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Horizontally moving fingers does not move the page horizontally. Only
vertical scroll works

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.5 on Vista x32, HP laptop, patched synaptics drivers (w. multi-touch).

Please provide any additional information below.
It's not that big of a deal to me, but it would be nice to have this feature.

Note that the horizontal wheel is only available for Vista. The patch attached
enables horizontal scrolling, for applications that support it (where horizontal
scroll on your mouse works too).

Download CodeGear C++ builder (v2009 works for me), 
download the source code for the two finger scroll, 
open it with the studio
make sure it compiles
Install Cygwin, and make sure you include the patch package
download the patch file
Open up Cygwin and browse to where the source code is (via cd command)
then, type in ( I -THINK-, you'll need to double-check ) patch < 
horizontal.patch
Stuff should happen. Open up the studio, compile it again.
The result of the compile is your new .exe that you can use with horizontal 
scrolling

If anybody has an easier method, I'd love to hear it.

OR, alternatively, you could wait for the author to include the patch himself.

Oh, sorry I didn't respond earlier. I checked out the source with svn and 
created the
patch with TortoiseSVN too. It can apply patches by rightclicking the directory 
where
you checked out the source and choose Apply Patch from the TortoiseSVN menu.

As far as I know it was built with CodeGear RAD Studio 6.0 (which is 2009), I
preferred using something small & free to build (like DevC++), but for the time 
being
I used CodeGears compiler to get it compiled.

Note that a lot of applications don't support horizontal scrolling. The only app
where you can really enjoy it is Google Chrome beta (not stable), where it works
smoothly in every direction!

Hey,

Just started playing with this app, which I find wonderful!
I'm trying to get Horizontal scrolling to work.

I use Vista + Chrome, but no luck even with the pathed exe above.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Using XP SP2. Would love to see horizontal scrolling. I replaced the EXE from 
this
post with the one that was on the main page and still don't seem to have 
horizontal
scroll. Any thoughts?

I'd also love to have 2 finger horizontal scrolling :). Unfortunately I wasn't 
able to get the patch or the .exe to enable horizontal scrolling. I already 
love what you guys have given!

I can share the appreciation which the guys above feel, and I also would want a 
working horizontal scroll :) I tried the patched .exe in win7 x64, sadly, it 
didn't work.
Keep up the good work!

I think horizontal scroll the way it's implemented in this app is not supported 
properly on any version I guess.

there are some open issue with this approach at msdn

Try my personal update of two-finger-scroll, called synGestures: 
http://cl.ly/Efnv

It supports horizontal scrolling with two fingers, reversed scrolling as well 
as three-finger-gestures and Windows 8 Consumer Preview support. You can swipe 
to show the charm bar, app bar, switch between windows just like at a tablet. 
It's a lot of fun :)

RE: SynGestures
Wow! Really cool stuff. I especially like the reversed scrolling direction.
Is there a repo / source code somewhere?
