I am attempting to include mouse wheel support in a opengl/glut implementation.<br />
<br />
In linux under X-windows the scroll wheel comes up as a separate mouse button on the glut mouse event.<br />
<br />
In Mac OSX v10.3.5 &nbsp;the mouse wheel does not appear under the glut mouse function. I have read that glut does not actually support the mouse wheel. How would I get mouse wheel support in a c++ opengl / glut app in Mac OSX?<br />
<br />
I'm looking for a function that returns an integer for scroll up and an integer for scroll down.<br />
<br />
Thanks!
