the docs should tell you ;-)

Well, all I've seen is this:

http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.org/en/latest/region.html#Region.wheel

Should I take this to imply that the answer is "no"? ;-)

have you tried the step parameter?

This is the only available option (java.awt.robot::mouseWheel(int howManyNotches)).

The step parameter just controls how /far/ it goes, not how /fast/, no? I want it to take each step faster.... I have some long pages to scroll through, and it takes several seconds+ each time. Repeated many times, that gets very tedious (or, it adds a lot to my processing time).

I don't know AWT, but it looks like Robot has delay() and setAutoDelay() methods -- could these speed up the rate at which it generates wheel step events?

Sorry, I understand your request, but there is no solution from inside SikuliX/Java for that currently.

The mentioned delays are ADDING additional waiting times - so surely not what you want ;-)

Have ya look into the system setup, whether it is possible to speed up the scrolling there.

You might also try to drag the scroll bar, which might speed things up.

I have most of my system settings on max, but I'll look to see if I missed anything. ;-) The scrollbar would be faster, but it's also a lot more work to find in my case... so I went with the wheel instead. Your sample code from the other question did speed things up, though, so I'll go with that for now. :)

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.
