Is there is a rough alpha in pure-data svn, externals/io/hidio.  It works on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X 32-bit, it just needs someone to get the Windows code working.

the patch has to be cross-platform and "plug-and-play" with pd-extended (0.42.5 actually)
so maybe this is a bit too complex to set-up

an easy solution would be a version of [hid] for windows.. maybe there is a beta version somewhere ?

is there a way to change the window in focus from puredata ?


which operatingsystem?
On Linux you could use xdotool via [shell] 
I think however that as soon as you click the mouse in the Gemwin, it will steal back the focus. If _only_ the mousewheel is used, it may work, not sure, you'll have to try.
I also vaguely remember an external called "wmangler", which had something to do with handling window positioning etc..., though I don't know if it would allow you to do exactly what you need, or where you can find it these days...

yes, [gemmouse] does not output mousewheel (i think too)


[hid] does it but it's not cross-platform....

[gemmouse]?
i think gemmouse does not output mousewheel. (only XY position and right / left / middle click)
