Trigger off of the Middle Mouse Button/Wheel

Has anyone used Storyline to trigger an action off of a middle mouse button click or use of the mouse wheel? This may seem trivial, but the software that we train on uses the middle mouse button/whe...

 Hello Heather and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests that we receive. I did a quick search and I do see a few similar requests, so I'm going to gather all these together.

Can you tell me a bit more about the issue you're running into with the scrolling panel? I'd be happy to help you out.

    Leslie,

    Some of the training we develop covers tasks performed in software where
    using the middle-mouse button click (or using the scroll wheel) are an
    important action the user takes. As best as I can tell, there is no way
    to capture that action in Storyline. If we had the ability to
    incorporate a trigger in Storyline off of either of those actions, it
    would allow us to better train users on how to perform certain
    functions. Even if we just had the middle-mouse button trigger, I think
    we could come up with a workaround for the scroll wheel (or vice versa).

    Does that explanation make sense?
