Description Michael Sizaki CLA 2003-11-30 21:43:24 EST 
At the moment wheelmouse events are handeled implicitely by Scrollable. It turns
wheelmouse events into ARROW_UP/DOWN events (at least on windows). Well, that's
probably OK for most applications, but this prevents applications to use e.g.
Ctrl-Wheel mouse to scale a view (like many windows applications do (e.g.
internet explorer, word, mozilla, most imaging applications etc)).

It would be great to register for wheelmouse events and handle them in the user
code (rather then convert the events silentry to keyboard events and not sending
them when control or shift is pressed)....
