Scroll wheel support (Windows)

You can use a pointing device (mouse) equipped with a scroll wheel with FileMaker Pro for Windows to browse through records, scroll up and down, scroll in a field or portal formatted with a vertical scroll bar, and change the magnification of the image on your screen (zoom in or out).

To use the scroll wheel to move through records in Browse mode:

•	Make sure no fields or objects are selected, then rotate the scroll wheel.

The behavior is different depending on the current view:

 

When the current view is	Rotating the scroll wheel does the following
Form View	Scrolls through records as if you were clicking the left and right pages of the book.
List View or Table View	Scrolls through the list of records, as if you were clicking on the up and down arrows in the vertical scroll bar.

To use the scroll wheel in other modes:

•	Layout mode: rotate the scroll wheel to scroll up and down in the layout, as if you were clicking on the up and down arrows in the vertical scroll bar of the document window.

•	Preview mode: rotate the scroll wheel to scroll up and down in the preview, as if you were clicking on the up and down arrows in the vertical scroll bar of the document window.

•	Find mode: rotate the scroll wheel to scroll up and down in the find request, as if you were clicking on the up and down arrows in the vertical scroll bar of the document window.

To use the scroll wheel to move up or down in a field formatted with a vertical scroll bar in Browse or Find mode:

•	Click in the field, then rotate the scroll wheel. See Adding scroll bars to fields for more information.

To use the scroll wheel to move up or down in a portal formatted with a vertical scroll bar in Browse mode:
