Why does my TrackPoint button not work in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)?
Show older comments
I have an IBM ThinkPad laptop computer, which is equipped with a TrackPoint (stick which is used instead of a mouse to control the pointer). In other Windows applications, I am able to use the TrackPoint in conjunction with the middle mouse button to mimic the effect of a scroll wheel. This does not work in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1).

According to IBM's WebSphere information center:
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/hodhelp/v10r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.hod.doc/help/mousewheel.html>
you may be able to work around this issue by doing the following:
1. Editing your "tp4table.dat" file in a text editor (for example, Notepad.exe). The "tp4table.dat" file is typically found in the
C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP
directory.
2. In this file, locate the following lines:
; Java support
*,*,java.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,1,9
*,*,javaw.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,1,9
3. Add the following line after the lines located on step (2):
*,*,matlab.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,1,9
4. Save the file and reboot your computer.
