Need zoom feature from scrolling

[damiansnpvp]

Hello, this is my first time on this forum & I'm new to using X mouse program. I first tried to search on this matter, but did not find a solution for what I need. My poor mouse died, so I'm using my backup one. My previous mouse had a zoom in & out feature built in to the scroll button. My present mouse does not have that feature, what a disappointment. I realize that Windows 7 has the press control button & use the scroll up or down will do the job, but what a hassle when comparing it to just using the mouse. I would like to use the press down on scroll button to act like the control & then while holding the scroll down I could scroll up or down to zoom in or out. I believe this is possible, but I can't figure out on how to do it. Does anybody know how to do this & can they explain please. Thank you very much. JD

Try this....

Layer 1
Middle button -> Layer 2

Layer 2:
Scroll up - sim keys: {CTRL}{MWUP} (pressed)
Scroll down - sim keys: {CTRL}{MWDN} (pressed)

Give that a try.
Thanks,
Phil

Ok layer 1 is easy to do, but when I go to layer 2, I can not figure out what or how to use what you have listed.
Layer 2:
Scroll up - sim keys: {CTRL}{MWUP} (pressed)
Scroll down - sim keys: {CTRL}{MWDN} (pressed)

When I click on layer 2 & then select wheel up or down, nothing happens. "When I press cntr. & scroll up & save, still does not work. I'm sure It's my fault, could you please walk me through with a little more detail? Thanks, JD

Another method; for the default profile in Layer 1 change Middle Button to Simulated Keystrokes, choose during from the drop down box and type {CTRL} in the entry field, click OK then Apply.

Now it should work like you want.  Be forewarned, this is going to overwrite standard middle clicks, so you won't be able to do things like close tabs or windows with the wheel button anymore.

Now why didnt I think of that - yes MainTrane's suggestion is far better than mine - and does not require layers

Im not sure why my method cause you trouble though - may need to look into that seperatly.
MMB should have switched to layer 2 when held, and then the scroll up/scroll down combos for layer 2 should have been set to simulated keystrokes, as described.

Thanks,

It works. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I selected simulated keystrokes during cntr. {CTRL} How to send the simulated key: During (press on down, release on up) Works perfectly, you are brilliant. I donated a small token through pay-pal. Thanks, JD
