Reversed Mouse Wheel in MacOS - Lion

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

As you know, there is an option in Lion to reverse mouse wheel in Lion to be more like TrackPad. Is there any way to know from the application the state of this option? Is there any system call for that?

I need it for a C++/Cocoa program.

Not sure if it is related or not and if it helps you or not, but a quick google search gave me this: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/11757/os-x-lion-10-7-reverse-scroll-direction/ , here they imply that this settings is at:
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences -> com.apple.swipescrolldirection
I guess if you knew how to read these global preferences then you could query it.
