An integer value that provides a factor of how much the mouse wheel rotated. This value can be a negative integer; see Remarks.

Remarks

To obtain the absolute value of the delta, multiply by 120 the number of detents (notches on the wheel) that the wheel rotated. The delta is positive if the wheel rotated forward (away from the user), and negative if the wheel rotated backward.
