Is there a way to force scrolling by pixel instead of row/column in Excel with xmbc? I've tried all possible combinations with Advanced Window Scrolling without success.

Maybe introduce a setting for pixels under Advanced Window Scrolling. So to achieve what I want in this particular example one would set the properties as below for scrolling 4 pixels for each tick with the wheel.

Vertical Lines: 0
Horizontal Characters: 0
V/H Pixels: 4

Maybe two settings is needed since tilt wheels probably needs a different setting from the scroll.
Vertical Lines: 0
Horizontal Characters: 0
Vertical Pixels: 4
Horizontal Pixels: 16

Note: I have two scroll wheels on my mouse, the second wheel is seen as tilt left/right. I would like this wheel to scroll in pixels as well.

I don't think this is possible because its the way Excel does it - as in Micrsoft would have to change it in Excell and nothing XMBC can do about it.
I cant add a setting to scroll x pixels - because all XMBC can do is send scroll messages - its up to the target application how it interprets those messages.

Gaah, the features Microsoft forces on you.

I have a vague memory that it was possible to set scrolling to pixels previously, maybe Win2k or around that period, but they have obviously changed it if it was there.

I think in general Windows it is possible, its called "smooth scrolling" and has been the default for as long as I can remember. I think that's probably what you are referring to.

But Excel has, for whatever reason, never respected that setting I believe. Maybe MS thinks it makes sense not to scroll half a line (maybe that does make sense in a spreadsheet) but they are of course inconstant - move grid/table views in windows will scroll part of a line.

In fact, in excel, if you click and drag the scroll bar slowly, it will move the view up/down in increments of 1 pixel but AS SOON as you release the click, it will snap back/forward to a whole line. (Same for horizontal scroll with columns). They are obviously doing this differently for a reason because it wont be easy to make it work like that which is different from the windows standard - but I don't know what that reason is (I bet its legacy but I cant answer for Microsoft ).

Ah ok, if it snaps either way it's probably impossible to fix the scrolling behaviour from outside of the app. Maybe some VBA can do it, yuck, I won't go there
