Does anyone use AHK with one of these mouses?

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm says
Quote:
LButton - the left mouse button
RButton - the right mouse button
MButton - the middle or wheel mouse button

WheelDown - this is equivalent to rotating the mouse wheel down (toward you)
WheelUp - the opposite of the above. When WheelDown/Up are used as hotkeys, A_EventInfo contains the number of turns/notches.

Supported only in Windows 2000/XP or later:
XButton1 - a button that appears only on certain mice
XButton2 - a button that appears only on certain mice
does it work for buttons 6 and 7 if we use Xbutton3 and XButton4?

What mouse are you using? I'm not sure about Xbutton3, etc. but lot of mice with 6+ buttons come with additional software that lets you program all the buttons to any key you want. So for example you can program "fold" to F1 (or whatever) on your keyboard and then button 6 on your mouse to = F1, so button 6 will then fold. Does that make sense?

Ok thank you.
Actually I will receive the mouse I ordered in 1 or 2 days.
I think that there is a software that comes with it so I will try and post again if it does'nt work.

yeah there is no XButton 3+, you need to use some kind of keymap software usually. I believe some of the experimental AHK builds have support for WheelLeft / WheelRight (tiltwheels) - but those are, as they say - experimental at this time.

It's a TRUST MI-2950R. It comes with a cd. I installed the driver.
I have the 3 standard buttons with the wheel, tilt wheel. There is also zoom in, zoom out, browser back and browser forward.
for these two I think it works with Browser_Back and Browser_Forward but I don't know what to use for the zoom (XButton1&2?) and tiltwheel.
