Hoping that somebody has a genius idea with this

Just bought myself an iPad Pro

We have a "control my desktop" feature on our work computers with an accompanying iOS app

I can't work out how to scroll on the app ie. Simulate the scroll on a Windows mouse. The usual iPad gestures aren't working.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Not even the two-finger scroll?

    It’s going to be a driver control issue on your pc

      Not sure if it means a difference - we can also access the computer remotely from a computer web browser. When doing that there's no issues with scrolling

      Post on OzB is less taxing on the mind.

    Easiest test to get more info is to connect a mouse to the iPad and find out if it works that way. Bluetooth is simplest, otherwise get a usb c to usb a adapter.

      Does scroll wheel even work with iOS mice?

    Use mouse as per above, or get the magic keyboard.

    I use ipad pro m1 11 with magic keyboard and JumpRDP, to further connect to a server via windows RDP (lol) - and remote control a work pc as well.
    Works great.
