Scrolling with a laptop touchpad

Audio Plugins
1

I implemented a scrollable filebrowser in my plugin. However, I didn’t think of laptop users who don’t use a mouse.

The way I implemented it is by overriding

Component::mouseWheelMove()

Which doesn’t do anything for laptop touchpads.

Looking into the documentation for MouseEvent and the likes revealed no obvious choice for laptop touchpad events. Also I don’t have a touchpad at hand myself, which would allow me to test for the mouse event.

Does anyone know which mouseevent is used by a laptop scroll-type event?

Just wanted to add that I took the time to implement a scrollbar on the side.

This should at least allow laptop users to scroll at all.

If someone knows how to read the values, I’m still intruiged, but it’s rather low prio for me now.
