A question about mouse-wheel

Hi everybody,

I'm developer in a small software company - we develop a CAD like Windows-application (Visual C++ 6.0 with MFC) which handles mouse-wheel and middle-mouse-button for some functionality.

Now a customer told us these doesn't work when he uses our application in a Citrix Metaframe environment - I checked this and found that the control panel's mouse-settings doesn't show something about middle mouse button and mouse wheel.

Is there any possibility to enable usage of mouse wheel and middle mouse button in Citrix Metaframe?

Thanks in advance,

I assume that when you say "MetaFrame" you mean something like MetaFrame 1.8. That is a fairly old version of Citrix -- they have since released Presentation Server 3.0 and 4.0, both of which support wheel mouse functionality.

I'm sure the customer won't like it, but they really should upgrade to a more recent version of Citrix. (I'm pretty sure that Citrix has sunsetted MetaFrame and even they don't provide support for it anymore.)

Hi ET0000,

well, I'm not quite sure which version they use, I'll try to find out and suggest them to upgrade it.

Thanks a lot,

Hi ET0000,

sorry, I'm not sure how to handle this now - it might be you're right with your suggestion to upgrade to a newer version, but the customer doesn't want to do this, they have hundreds of people working on their citrix farm with at least a dozen of application and they don't want to risk a change of their running system.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

ZOPPO
