Mouse wheel direction for switches

[Detlef]

Hi,

I am not sure I am too late for the next Airmanager for Desktop release with this.

Maybe I overlook something. I cannot find a way to change the direction of the mouse wheel for switches. For example:
if I have a three-position switch and I rotate the mouse wheel, the switch callback sends +1 when turning the wheel down and -1 when turning the wheel up. How can I change that?

I tried:

mouse_setting(switch_id , "CLICK_ROTATE", -1)

to no effect.

Is the mouse_setting() function only for dials or can I use it to set the mouse behavior for multi position switches also? If not, it could be added as feature in the next release?!

Thank you
Detlef

Direction times -1?

Direction times -1?

Just using "direction times -1" did not work. I think the position value came out wrong in the callback function in that case.

Then I don't know what you mean...

Hi Detlef, he means that for each event you multiply the value returned by -1 so if the return is -1 then the result of -1 * -1 is a positive meaning 1, and if the value is 1, then multiplying by -1 will produce a negative meaning -1 in this case - hence reversing the sign of the values.

Hello Joe and @Ralph,

I understand you but you don't understand me

It is sometimes unbelievably complex to put simple things in words. So I figured it out now.
I (actually a friend of mine) wanted to use the position value from the switch callback function in an fs2020_variable_subsribe() directly as is.

The solution is, you put the pictures in reverse order in the switch_add() call and you do not use position but "2 minus position" in the fs2020_variable_subsribe() call.
Sounds simple but is some brain acrobatics. I thought a parameter in the switch_add() function could be used to the Airmanager functions to reverse the mouse wheel direction.

Hi @Detlef, already made similar, though shouldn't be made through the call or subscription, but rather be handled in the callback function in any case ...
