Does anyone know of any widgets (for HTML5) that would listen for a mouse wheel double click? My limited javascript skills (i.e. copying other people's code examples) aren't working for me!
To explain, in the software we are recording a mouse wheel double click returns the application to a default zoom level. There is no button or other way to achieve the same thing in the software, so we'd like to find a way to simulate this task.
Thanks in advance!

Normal Click Boxes in Captivate have the option for respoinding to a Double-Mouse Click.
But if you want more flexibility and options for HTML5 then the CpExtra HTML5 widget is the only other solution I know of: https://infosemantics.com.au/about-cpextra/

However, please bear in mind that your situation is very different to a normal interaction. Having to listen for a double click event on the mouse wheel (not a mouse button) might be next to impossible to achieve without custom coding.

Thanks Rod. I do have your cpextra widget, but unfortunately the double click doesn't register for the mouse wheel. I'll keep fighting with my dodgy javascript and see if I can get there!

This JavaScript will do the trick. Change yourelement name to the name of the Captivate element.
var count = 0;
var timeout;
var myButton = document.getElementById("yourelementname")
myButton.addEventListener("auxclick", captureMouseWheel, false);
function captureMouseWheel( e )
{
if ( e.button == 1 )
{
count++;
if ( !timeout )
{
timeout = setTimeout( function()
{
timeout = undefined;
check();
}, 250);
}
}
else
{
count = 0;
}
}
function check()
{
if ( count >= 2 )
{
//mousewheel doubleclicked
}
count = 0;
}

Thanks so much. That's very generous of you!
