I am trying to make a little app, just for fun and to learn a bit more about lower level programming.

When I click the middle mouse button, the window the mouse is over is sent to the back of the z order.

When I hold the middle mouse, the window is sent to the front of the z order.

All of this is working. I am having a little trouble with scrolling. If the mouse is over a control that can be scrolled, when I use the mouse wheel, that control is scrolled, even if it isn't on an active window. That part works. But when I have an active window with an edit control as well as the mouse being over a nonactive edit control, they both scroll. I think this is because they are sharing the command. From what I have read, Zedna's subclassing will fix this. The part of the code that will need fixed is the

$WM_MOUSEWHEEL case in the mouse hook function.

Here is a picture of the setup when the problem scrolling occurs.

I took a look at Zedna's posts, but didn't understand exactly how subclassing worked or how to use it. Thanks in advance!

You hook procedure never return to the rest of the chain, it should be:

Func _Mouse_Proc($nCode, $wParam, $lParam)

    If $nCode < 0 Then _WinAPI_CallNextHookEx($hM_Hook[0], $nCode, $wParam, $lParam)

    Switch $wParam
        Case $WM_MBUTTONDOWN
            $MouseUpSent = False
;~          If TimerDiff($TimeSinceLastDown) < 325 Then ;middle mouse button double click
;~              AdlibEnable("MiddleDoubleClick", 100) ;call the function after $WM_MBUTTONDOWN is passed on to system
;~          Else
;~          EndIf

            $TimeSinceLastDown = TimerInit() ;reset the timer
            CheckForMiddleUp()
            AdlibEnable("CheckForMiddleUp", 75)
        Case $WM_MBUTTONUP
            $MouseUpSent = True
        Case $WM_MOUSEWHEEL
            If $CanScroll = True Then
                $Info = DllStructCreate("int X;int Y;dword mouseData;dword flags;dword time;ulong_ptr dwExtraInfo", $lParam)
                $MouseData = DllStructGetData($Info, 3)
                If _WinAPI_HiWord($MouseData) > 0 Then
                    _SendMessage($hOverControl, $EM_SCROLL, $SB_LINEUP)
                Else
                    _SendMessage($hOverControl, $EM_SCROLL, $SB_LINEDOWN)
                EndIf
                Return 0
            EndIf
    EndSwitch

    Return _WinAPI_CallNextHookEx($hM_Hook[0], $nCode, $wParam, $lParam)
EndFunc ;==>_Mouse_Proc

..or set $hM_Hook = $hM_Hook[0] after you're calling DllCall().

Subclassing your window's control is something else than subclassing some other program's control, it's much more complex. Look here, it's an example of how to install a hook procedure that monitors messages posted to a message loop of an application, you can see which window this message is for and whether to intercept the message or let the window receive this message. You must install this hook using a dll.

OK. That makes sense. Thanks for the help with the hook, but it still doesn't work. This problem doesn't happen when neither of the windows are active. Could the scroll message activated by my mouse wheel being scrolled be arriving at the active window before it is passed on to my program?

Anyone else? I looked at Authenticity's link, but I don't know how to code that. I don't know VB code. A sample code in autoit that displays intercepting an event before the active window would be helpful. Or maybe there is another way to achieve what I am looking for.

...Could the scroll message activated by my mouse wheel being scrolled be arriving at the active window before it is passed on to my program?

Nope, take this for example:

Case $WM_MOUSEWHEEL
    Return 1

...now no window in the system is getting notified about the event. What it can be is that another application registers a hook procedure later or after you register yours, this way, the other application gets notified before your hook.
