jeewee_er Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 It would be nice if it were possible to scroll in the horizontal direction of a diagram or front panel with the mouse wheel just like it is possible in the vertical direction. Maybe by pressing the ctrl button to switch between horizontal and vertical scrolling. Diagrams and front panels tend to grow larger than a 'screen' and this way editing can become a lot easier.

Michael Aivaliotis Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Actually, you can do this right now. You have to hover over the horizontal scroll bar of the vi panel. Then when you use the scroll wheel it will scroll in the horizontal direction. Quote Link to comment
atilio Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hovering the mouse over the horizontal scroll bar is not a good solution, if you have to move the mouse down there, then you might as well click and drag the scroll bar anyways. If you look at most programs that have horizontal scroll bars (firefox for example), the arrow keys on the keyboard allow you to scroll horizontally. That way, at least mice that have extra buttons or a horizontal+vertical scroll wheel can scroll horizontally by remapping buttons. With all the scrolling that is necessary in labview, a better way to scroll horizontally is an obvious thing to improve. (even if you make it two obscure buttons like the F# buttons, it can at least be remapped by the techies among us). even regular windows explorer folders allow you to scroll horizontally using the arrow keys or the mouse's left/right scroll functionality if you have it.
