Add a setting to disable mouse-wheel scrolling

[zadjii-msft]

This is in lieu of having actual mouse bindings. Some people might actually want the mouse to not scroll, or might want to pass the mouse scrolling through.

Until we have proper mouse bindings, this settings should suffice.

This task is a "instead of #1553" task. If we just do #1553, then this isn't relevant.

note 2/22/2022

I'd add this as a profile setting, experimental.mouseWheelScrolling: bool. Probably just the same as #11710. Since we're using this as an "escape hatch" issue while we wait for the architecture to do #1553 right, I'd just go ahead and disable all wheel scrolling with this setting - including opacity scrolling and zooming.

I added "historySize": 0 to my profile to disable scrolling.

Can't scroll if there's nothing to scroll to! 🙃

is it okay a setting to dsable mouse-whell scrollng
#include <windows.h>

int main() {
// Create a dialog box with a checkbox to disable mouse-wheel scrolling.
HWND hWndDialog = CreateDialog(NULL, IDD_DIALOG1, NULL, NULL);

// Show the dialog box.
ShowWindow(hWndDialog, SW_SHOW);

// Get the message loop for the dialog box.
MSG msg;
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) {
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}

// Get the state of the checkbox.
BOOL fDisableMouseWheelScrolling = IsDlgButtonChecked(hWndDialog, IDC_DISABLE_MOUSE_WHEEL_SCROLLING);

// Disable mouse-wheel scrolling if the checkbox is checked.
if (fDisableMouseWheelScrolling) {
SetScrollRate(NULL, 0, 0);
}

// Destroy the dialog box.
DestroyWindow(hWndDialog);

return 0;
}

@SWARAJSINGH211 Do I understand your comment correctly that you would like (or already started/tried) working on this issue? 😊
