Can't Scroll Left and right?

The WxWidgets forum is here: http://wxforum.shadonet.com/

Thanks. I've added a thread here: http://wxforum.shadonet.com/viewtopic.p ... 034#124034. If anyone here can help by adding a slightly more coherent explanation of what I'm asking, then please do!

I think you've put the question clearly. Unfortunately I'm unable to assist with an answer.

Thanks! Well, the answer's in - apparently it's supported in version 2.9.1 of wxWidgets.

Poking around in the API, I found this:
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx ... f20a185a1d
... which is presumably how you would go about tracking it.

Do we know what Audacity's plans are for updating wxWidgets? Is this something which could be addressed at some stage soon?

Thanks again!

Good bit of detective work rollo

As Audacity depends heavily on WxWidgets it is obviously important that Audacity is being built on a stable platform.
WxWidgets 2.9.1 was released just a couple of months ago and is a "development release". Switching to 2.9.1 is likely to require changes to the Audacity code and will probably introduce unexpected bugs so I will not be surprised if the Audacity developers hold off from upgrading WxWidgets until after the release of Audacity 2.0.

Having said that, I'm not a developer and the decision of when to upgrade WxWidgets will be made by people far more knowledgeable about the subject than myself.

OK, I do understand. A bit of patience is required then!

If there's anything we can do in the meantime (filing a bug or whatever), just let me know...

Thanks very much for your help!

I can raise a bug since we've got some positive information that int wxMouseEvent::GetWheelAxis ( ) const has been added to wx2.9. Thanks for contacting wxWidgets.

Can I just confirm - Koz said earlier on that even SHIFT + mouse wheel does not scroll left and right - is that correct as I would suppose? Or only that scrolling the mouse left/right without SHIFT does not work?

IF you are feeling bold enough to compile Audacity, you can of course try 2.9.1 yourself and see if horizontal scrolling works. There is no guarantee Audacity will compile with wx 2.9.1 without changes. I agree that there probably won't be a consensus to use wx2.9 until it's classed as stable.

Hi,

Sorry - missed your reply there. Shift + vertical scroll does indeed work.

I'd be brave enough to compile, but it's not that big a deal!

Thanks,
