Mouse Scrolling

My mouse scroll wheel doesn't work in DataStage Designer in the design window; however it does work for my co-worker. Would this be a setting I'm missing somewhere, or might it be hardware-dependent (depending on what brand/model mouse I have)? I did a search first, but didn't stumble across anything.

TIA,
Joni G.

Welcome to DSXChange, jguldy!

It isn't a function of DataStage; the mouse scrolling function just issues the windows commands to go up or down {n} lines. It must be some windows setting. Can you scroll in a Word-For-Windows or notepad session using the mouse with the same userid that won't work in a DSDesign window? I'd be surprised if that were the case.

I've also seen this. I think it's related to the mouse brand; some work, some don't. No idea why. But it's frustrating when you're used to the scroll wheel!

I suspected it was the hardware. I can scroll just fine in the repository panel if that is my current focus. It just doesn't seem to recognize that the design panel has focus when I want to scroll vertically. The horizontal scroll is working just fine the in the design panel. Frustrating is right!

Thanks for the quick replies!

You are very lucky - I have worked with DS for almost 7 years and have never had a mouse that will scroll Designer

!
Very frustrating.
