Scroll with mouse wheel does not work over labels and text fields in components and in parameters

[flyasky]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description of the bug

On Windows scroll is possible only on empty places without any child component.

Steps To Reproduce

No steps - it's just existing UI bug

Expected behavior

Would be handy to enable scrolling over all components except comboboxes.

Software information

• Operating system: MS Windows
• ArduPilot Methodic Configuration version: 1.4.4 and 2.6.1

I had to disable mouse scrolling because it was wreaking havoc on comboboxes.
It would be great to re-enable it, but keep it disabled over comboboxes like you said.

@amilcarlucas if this issue is still open
Would it be okay if I take this up?

[amilcarlucas]

@Trishanshv sure have a go at it. The relevant code is here:

MethodicConfigurator/ardupilot_methodic_configurator/frontend_tkinter_component_editor.py

Line 182 in fd360b6

# Prevent mouse wheel from changing value when dropdown is not open

@amilcarlucas,
This is my first contribution so I wanted to share my approach before implementing it.

I’m thinking of creating a small helper function that forwards mouse wheel events from entries and comboboxes back to their parent frame .
please correct me if I am wrong .
