CoolMouse97 works with Metastock Charts.
Great assistant when in MS and you want to "AUTO" Scroll.
Its FREE whare too(this version, next version will be shareware, see below)
http://www.favorit.ru/cmouse
Scroll Up and Down, Left to Right, Diagonal and all excellent Fast or Slow.
Ofcourse CoolMouse97 works too in Internet Explorer(yes, when live on the Web),
Outlook Express(handy with lengthy emails), Excel, Word.
(handy with lengthy system test or explorer reports)
-just click the Middle Button 1x (this will change the pointer into
a "anyway" direction arrow)
-now move your mouse a bit forward and it will scroll upwards,
a bit backwards and it will scroll down(moving more bits=faster scrolling)
and to have it on "AutoScroll", just stop moving when at the right speed.
A lot more of these nifty "little" features are included(see below).
Will send this "CC"ed to suggestions@xxxxxxxxx as if this guy can build this then
why cannot Equis? Could ask the guy to build it for Metastock, couldn't they?
(Great help when studying charts etc.)
Regards,
Ton Maas

Cool Mouse 97- FAQs
Q: I have installed Cool Mouse 97 and then I’ve tried to configure it but
the “Features” and other tabs are blank.
A: You need an updated “comctl32dll” file that ships with Internet Explorer 3.0 and
higher. Download it from http://www.favorit.ru/cmouse and place in your
“WINDOWS\SYSTEM” folder.
—————————————————————————————————————
Q: I have a mouse (with 3 buttons), but windows only recognizes 2,
because your program says I have a 2 button mice only.
How can I have the 3 buttons working with these mouse (its a serial one)?
A: You might need to change the mouse driver. Ask the 3-button mouse driver
from your hardware manufacturer.
—————————————————————————————————————
Q: I have a 3-button mouse, and the Cool Mouse 97 features works fine.
But I see the stupid message “A 3-button mouse is not detected…” every
time I run Cool Mouse 97.
A: Sometimes, the system could not properly detect the number of mouse buttons.
Go to Cool Mouse 97 “Settings” dialog and click on the “General” tab. Uncheck
the “Detect the number of mouse buttons on startup” option and click OK.
The stupid message will never popup again.
—————————————————————————————————————
Q: I use the “Scroll Window” feature and when I click on my desktop, it’s scrolls
too !!!. What’s this?
A: It is not a bug. It’s a little hack. However, I can remove it , if you want.
—————————————————————————————————————
Q: What is “Desktop Toys” ?
A: Desktop Toys is a name of a group of shell enhancements written for
Microsoft Windows95 or Windows NT 4.0 and, often, require Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.0 to be installed. Desktop Toys makes your work
easier by adding more power and useful applets to your desktop. Those
add-ons are small, fast, smart and very customizable. Focus on your work,
not environment's limits!
The key component is the DesktopToys Add-on Interface (or "DAI") in
conjunction with DesktopToys Manager ("DTM") for one-place configuration
and management via Windows Control Panel.

History Log:
10/12/96 0.91 Initial beta 1
15/12/96 0.91a Bugs fixed:
1. Fixed mouse-bounced activation via taskbar icon
2. «Start Menu» pops-up in its usual position, if the mouse click was outside of the active window.
3. The start button flashes on the taskbar after
clicking near the taskbar (from within 0.5 inches - or 1.25cm)
01/01/97 0.92 Note: This is the last version at the Beta 1 level.
1. «Roll-Up» function added. This feature enables you to «Roll-Up» the window by clicking the middle button from within
its caption.
(It goes without saying how useful this is!)
2. The «Settings» dialogue was revised. Personally I prefer the revised version, since it can now be activated by
double- clicking on the icon in the tray.
«Active / Suspend» modes were added. Now, the tray icons are
different for each mode.
«Help» file was added. Now you can choose the «Help» command from the
«Cool Mouse 96» menu.
Installation procedure was modified. Now «Cool Mouse 96» is installed by simply clicking the right-mouse button and
highlighting the «CMouse96.inf» file. Installation is completed by selecting «install» from the drop-down menu.
The small icon was altered: giving it more visual appeal.
12/01/97 1.0.1a Note: This version is the first in Beta 2 level.
1. New feature was added: Now you can run any program (or associated files) with a simple click of the middle-mouse
button.
2. Button count feature was added: Now the program verifies the
number of mouse buttons. (The program won’t run if the count is less than 3.)
3. Bugs fixed:
Fixed bug with cursor keys - they didn't work in the «Settings...» dialogue box.
In the previous version, you couldn’t rollup more than 256 windows; now the count is unlimited. (... finally some tiny
conveniences ...)
25/02/97 1.0.1b Initial public release.
10/04/97 2.0 Note: The «Cool Mouse 96» project is no more…
Since my hard drive crash, I’ve missed the all my source code. I worked hardly
to rewrite it again, and decided to call the program «Cool Mouse 97». Thus,
remember, the «Cool Mouse 96» project is no more present. There is new project
«Cool Mouse 97» on a board.
Since I’ve mentioned above, the program was renamed.
Now, the «Cool Mouse 97» is a member of Desktop Toys family.
The «Settings» dialog was revised again. Looks nice, isn’t it?
«Tray window» feature was added: This feature enables you to
minimize windows to the system tray notification area (there the clock is)
«Window menu» feature was added. This displays the popup me nu
with selectable window operations. (Includes Cool Mouse 97 window features)
«Scroll window» feature was added. This feature enables you to scroll window up
and down with a simple click of the middle-mouse button.
«Split window caption» function was added. Now you can combine «Roll Up» and «Tray Window» features.
«Show feature indicator» function was added. This shows the current feature indicator, instead of Cool Mouse 97 icon on
task bar.
«Load on system startup» function was added. This loads Cool Mouse 97 on Windows startup.
«Detect the number of mouse buttons» function was added. This enables you to
disable detection of the mouse buttons count on startup.
Dear «2-buttons» users, I didn’t forget about your mices! Look here:
«Enable middle mouse buttons features on Scroll Lock» function added. This enables you, to use the middle mouse button
features on the right mouse button click, then the Scroll Lock light is «ON».
Now the «Cool Mouse 97» is a Desktop Toys family.
Desktop Toys add-on support DLL was added. This enables you to configure
the «Cool Mouse 97» directly from «Desktop Toys Manager» via «Control Panel».
ßß JJ Bugs fixed:
«Run» feature bug fixed. You couldn’t specify the command line parameters in the previous version.
Still not fixed:
The start menu pops up at it’s usual position, then the «Auto hide» task bar
property enabled.
15/09/97 2.1 Note: Now works with Windows NT!
«Suspend mode» bug fixed. Cool Mouse didn’t release the middle mouse button for
other applications in this mode.
«Drag ‘n drop» feature was added: This feature enables you to drag and drop objects with a middle mouse button click
without holding the left mouse button.
«Feature» submenu added. This enables you to switch features directly from Cool Mouse 97 tray menu.
Scrolling ability for «Internet Explorer 4.0» added
Microsoft Windows NT compatible.
I’m planning to make the next version as a shareware (Not decided yet.) It will include the all planning features,
functions and a the amazing context-depended mode.
Presently on the Drawing Board:
X-Windows like clipboard operations
Control Panel extension (with a «Hide icon indicator « option)
Scrolling speed settings
Transparent Window feature
