| I like the "Enable Mouse Wheel Relay*" feature. But when it is enabled the mouse wheel no longer works inside my VMWare virtual machine. StrokesPlus is running on the host system. Is there a way to disable it for specific windows i.e. VMWare? |

Unfortunately, that code doesn't pay attention to ignored apps as it would greatly reduce overall responsiveness of the mouse wheel in all apps.
The only way I can think of is to define VMWare as an ignored app and check the Disable S+ if this application is activated for VMWare.
Then, in the lower left corner in the Ignored screen, check the Enable S+ If Non-Ignored App Becomes Active box. So when VMWare is the active window, S+ is completely disabled; including the mouse wheel relay as well, though, so you couldn't scroll over a control while VMWare is the active window. Then when you click on another app, the taskbar, etc., S+ would become active until you made VMWare have focus again. |

Thank you for the tip! I'll try it out when I get the chance.
Any idea why there is a problem with VMWare in the first place? Can there be a fix for this issue? |

VMWare is probably installing a mouse hook, but S+'s mouse hook is global so it will always intercept the mouse messages first. After relaying the mouse message to the VMWare window, I have no idea how their code works to be able to tell you why the code isn't acknowledging it.
Of course, these are just guesses as I don't have the VMWare source code  |
