Did anyone manage to make katmouse work over vs 2010

Question

As you might know katmouse enables scrolling over non active windows. Which would be especially great in vs 2010 because now you can take source code windows to other monitors. But of course it does not work. Is there a trick to make WPF receive the right message?

Answer 1

Yes, well, mostly.

Open the KatMouse dialog by right clicking and choosing settings. Go to the Classes tab, and drag the icon on the bottom of the dialog to an open vs2010 window. That'll add the new class to KatMouse. Now double click that new entry to bring up the settings for that class, and turn off the "Window has wheel scrolling support" checked box.

Unfortunately it seems like the class name changes for every source window, so I think you have tell KatMouse about every source window every time you launch vs. :(
