WM_MOUSEWHEEL only works in one direction on Windows 7 / 64bits

Question

I made this code for 3D Effect in a Game, this code help change Possition and Zoom In + Out the screen!

But if I run it on win 7 64 bits, when scroll the mouse wheel, both forward and backward, it Zoom In only but it works correctly when run on Windows 7 32 bits!

How can I fix it for any win?
Thanks for any help!!!!

From documentation you can read:

mouseData Type: DWORD If the message is WM_MOUSEWHEEL, the HIWORD of this member is the wheel delta. The LOWORD is undefined and reserved. A positive value indicates that the wheel was rotated forward, away from the user; a negative value indicates that the wheel was rotated backward, toward the user. One wheel click is defined as WHEEL_DELTA, which is 120.

So I guess that if you use HIWORD(mhs->mouseData) it could be better. Also note that the result is unsigned.

Thanks! But if the result is unsigned, What can i do with "direction" variable? in order to detect when mouse wheel was rotated forward or backward? I tried "unsigned int direction = HIWORD(mhs->mouseData);" And tried export the result to output.txt, and although I rotate the mouse wheel forward or backward, the result is alway is 30378! – Công Quyền Knight Nov 22 '12 at 09:28

To test the sign just cast it to short before: (short)HIWORD(mhs->mouseData) – pagra Nov 22 '12 at 09:49
I tried ` ofstream myfile; myfile.open("output.txt",fstream::in | fstream::out | fstream::app); myfile<< (short)HIWORD(mhs->mouseData) << '\n'; myfile.close();` But the result is alway same 30278 or another possitive value (it change only when i restart the application) – Công Quyền Knight Nov 22 '12 at 10:11
Could you please help me more? :( Thanks you – Công Quyền Knight Nov 22 '12 at 10:54

I solved this problem by testing in the WM_MOUSEWHEEL event by testing for non-zero... And then testing if-either '120' or not...

WM_MOUSEWHEEL:
if(HIWORD(wParam) == 120)
{
//Do Code for forward
}
else
{ 
//Do Code for reverse
}
