Guys, when a 4GL widget is focused you can scroll it with mouse wheel regardless of where the pointer is located. In P2J it seems that a widget receives mouse scroll event only when the pointer is positioned over the control. E.g. EDITOR is implemented in this way. Is there a way to catch mouse wheel globally?

Is this valid even if the pointer is outside of the active window?

Not without changes at the driver level... currently this sends the mouse events only to the widget hovered by the mouse pointer.

If focused widget can be scrolled regardless where the pointer is located, then this is a more generic problem (and not just related to browse), which needs to be fixed at both the Swing and Web drivers. I suggest implementing mouse wheel scroll for browse with the P2J code as it works now and fix the secondary issue later (or in a different task).
