Discussion

Scrolling movement is generally represented by small signed integer values, typically in a range from -10 to +10. Large values may have unexpected results, depending on the application that processes the event.

This function is not recommended for general use because of undocumented special cases and undesirable side effects. The recommended replacement for this function is CGEventCreateScrollWheelEvent, which allows you to create a scrolling event and customize the event before posting it to the event system.
