I suspect you need to look in the ncurses documentation or even the C code. And that is no guarantee that the Python curses module will expose any values you do find other than as numeric codes. I would have expected the mouse wheel down/click to appear as a BUTTON2 event to be honest. I didn't even realize there was a BUTTON4 event defined let alone BUTTON5. Incidentally, when you talk about wheel up/down are you talking about wheel rotation events rather than actual button down/up events? In that case 4 and 5 might make sense. If you find the answer please post back, I'm very interested since I'm in the middle of writing a book on the Python curses module and was unaware of this behaviour. A whole new area to explore.... I'm also interested in any documentation you have already found on it - where did you get this understanding? -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
