How do I detect the mouse event of moving my mouse left or right and wheel up or down?

Question

See more:

I have used Get_X_LParam for mouse movement and WParam for wheel movement.
Like DWORD x = HIWORD(wParam) but both of these events return continuous values.

for eg. if(x>0)
{
//do this
}

else
{
//do this
}

the Wparam only returns the same value every time even if I am moving my wheel downwards. Same with Get_X_LParam

when I put xPos in the condition

for eg. if(xPos>0)
//Do this

else
//do This.

It only returns the same value no matter where I move the mouse

I have no idea I am sorry. I use this message a lot in my code and it always works. You need to show more of your code, and also the actual values that you receive.
