A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
There is a MouseWheelListener which listens for scrolling the wheel. This is used for scrolling vertically most of the time.

I would like to do the same thing for scrolling horizontally (of course not with a regular mouse, but there are many devices which can scroll horizontally). As far as I know this is not yet implemented in the API.

JUSTIFICATION :
Many devices provide this functionality (touch pads, pointing sticks, ...).

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Software like Internet Explorer uses this functionality for scrolling horizontally.
ACTUAL -
I want to do the same thing with my touch pad as I can do with the scrollwheel of my mouse... but in both dimensions, not just vertically.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
None found
