In one of my former jobs, one of my coworkers applied a Hook somewhere which redirects Scroll Wheel events to the control just under the mouse pointer, instead of the one having the focus.

Some Windows Software (e. G. Outlook 2010) and most Linux software I know shows that behavior by default.

I don't know the details, but that coworker back then said for someone with knowledge of win32 programming, it was easy. I could try to contact him if you need more information.

Best regards
