How do I change the scroll on the block diagram?

[5thGen]

I am trying to find a way to scroll from side to side with the mouse when programming in the block diagram.  I found that if I hold down control and scroll with the mouse wheel while over a case statement it will cycle through the cases.  Scrolling with the mouse wheel with no buttons pressed will allow me to scroll vertically, but how do I scroll horizontally?  Thanks for the help.

If you put the mouse over the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the window and scroll it will move horizontally.

Thank you.  Is there a way to do it without going down to the scroll bar?

If there is then I don't know it.  I have a mouse with a scroll wheel that clicks left and right, but it doens't work within LabVIEW.

I just found that if you hold ctrl and shift and click and drag on a blank spot you can drag the block diagram around.  That's kinda scrollin

There's a way to do it without the scroll bar, if you're willing to do it without the mouse wheel.  Holding the Ctrl and Shift keys down switches to the Scrolling (hand) tool and you can drag your BD/FP around.  I use it ALL THE TIME.

Sorry...  I didn't read all the posts.
