Yes. You'll have first to map the wheel movement to mouse button events.
For example I have this in my XF86Config

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

which maps up/down movement to buttons 4 and 5.

then you can set bindkeys to this buttons as usual.

Like for example I would like to use the scroll wheel to scroll
therough the layout, scroll through CIW content..etc
Click to expand...
ex:

hiSetBindKey(Application "<Btn5Down>" "geScroll(nil \"s\" nil)")
hiSetBindKey(Application "<Btn4Down>" "geScroll(nil \"n\" nil)")

hiSetBindKey(Application "Shift<Btn5Down>" "hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() 0.8)")
hiSetBindKey(Application "Shift<Btn4Down>" "hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() 1.25)")

there are also a couple of zoom commands which are very useful for the
mouse button...
the following will allow zoom in /out based on where the mouse pointer
is located (as opposed to zooming in/out at the center of the display
if you used the regular zoom commands).

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Btn4Down>" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")
hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Btn5Down>" "hiZoomOutAtMouse()")

One additional useful functions for binding the mouse wheels to along
with scrolling.....

Thanks anyways!

You mean scroll the text window ?
If yes, then that's a X/Window manager issue, nothing related to the
Cadence software.

Scroll the text in the icfb window - CIW-Command interprter window,
where the CDS.log is displayed..

Actually, it's a widget set issue and, yes, it's possible.

See:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.cad.cadence/browse_thread/thread/12b22d6c59564f4a/42d176ea12ac8fe0
 
May I suggest the following to be added to .cdsinit:

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Btn5Down>" "geScroll(nil \"s\" nil)")
hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Btn4Down>" "geScroll(nil \"n\" nil)")
hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "Shift<Btn5Down>" "geScroll(nil \"e\"
nil)")
hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "Shift<Btn4Down>" "geScroll(nil \"w\"
nil)")

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Btn5Down>" "geScroll(nil \"s\" nil)")
hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Btn4Down>" "geScroll(nil \"n\" nil)")
hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift<Btn5Down>" "geScroll(nil \"e\" nil)")
hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift<Btn4Down>" "geScroll(nil \"w\" nil)")
